《Online Game: I Can Evolve Everything》 Chapter 1 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Didn¡¯t I die? Why am I here¡­¡± Hades opened his eyes and looked at the rented room around him. He felt both familiar and unfamiliar. This familiar small room was where he had worked for five years. Ring! Ring! Ring! At this moment, his cell phone rang. ¡°Hello¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god, why are you still sleeping? The game is about to start soon.¡± Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Hades asked blankly. ¡°What? Start the game? What do you mean start the game?¡± ¡°It¡¯s 12:30 on December 1st, 2099. It¡¯s going to be the day that will launch the game soon. Hurry up and get ready.¡± Hearing the name Hades immediately woke up. He knew about this It was a world-class virtual online game. Legend had it that it was created by a world-class AI. It had a realism that was 100% close to reality. There were even rumors that it was a game created by a god. Therefore, the moment this game appeared, it immediately swept the world. Hades immediately recalled. He was reborn. Moreover, it was when this game was first created ten years ago. In those past ten years, he had already made a name for himself. He had made a name for himself in the Gray Cloud Competition Zone but, in the end, he was murdered! Hades shook his head and did not think about these things. Because a shadow of a person appeared in his heart. It was his good friend Edward. He still could not believe that the person who had betrayed him was his good friend from the orphanage! Back then, they had participated in the game together, created a guild together, and explored the world of together. However, when it came to fame and glory, Edward had dealt him a fatal blow. When he was standing on the rooftop, he had dismissed him. If Edward had not thought that he would succeed, he would have directly told him the truth. Hades really could not imagine that the person who had harmed him was actually his good brother who he had grown up together with! Heh, heh. Hades laughed at himself. His eyes were filled with ridicule but, very quickly, they turned bright. ¡°To think that the heavens have given me a chance to do it all over again. Then I will definitely make good use of this chance and reach the peak of the Miracle!¡± He looked at the small house with four walls exuding poverty, and a struggle ignited in his heart. Forget it. Three years ago, I was able to walk onto the stage of the world from this place, so why can¡¯t I do it again now? I must get back what I lost! ¡­ ¡°Hello, hello? Helloo? Anyone there? Are you not listening again?¡± On the other side of the phone was a sweet-looking girl, Lucy. She was wearing sportswear. Because of the exercise she had done previously, there was still some sweat on her fair skin, which was shining with a sparkling light. ¡°Lucy, thank you. Otherwise, I would have missed the public launch,¡± Hades said gratefully. This girl named Lucy was a girl who had been in an orphanage like Hades. The two of them had always depended on each other. However, unlike Hades, Lucy was found by her parents when she was ten years old, her parents were the chairman of a financial group, while Lucy was the daughter of a financial group. ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re welcome. I¡¯m calling to tell you that the game helmet you bought before was too bad. I bought you a new helmet. You can try it on,¡± Lucy said happily, ¡°Game helmet?¡± Hades was stunned and immediately understood. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s only E-grade. Let¡¯s not talk about S-grade, it should be at least A-grade. That way, you can display your strength better.¡± Lucy smiled. In the game of the game helmet was extremely important. An E-grade helmet was the lowest grade helmet. It could only open the lowest-grade treasure chest. The lowest-grade treasure chest could only give the lowest-grade equipment or abilities. However, the best SSS-grade treasure chest could open the highest-grade treasure chest and it could have the highest grade equipment or abilities. ¡°Lucy, what level is the game helmet you gave me?¡± Hades immediately asked. ¡°Take a look for yourself. It should be at your house. I hope you like it.¡± Lucy smiled. Hades glanced at it and immediately saw the package on the table. It was the shape of a helmet. Hades immediately walked over and took a look. It was an S-grade gaming helmet! S-grade helmet! It was an S-grade helmet! Hades felt a huge wave in his heart. After all, he had thought that Lucy would at most give him an A-grade helmet. He did not expect that she would give him an S-grade helmet. This helmet cost at least 100 million! This gift was really expensive. Hades didn¡¯t know what to say in his heart. ¡°This¡­ This is too expensive. I can¡¯t accept it,¡± Hades said after taking a few deep breaths. ¡°Expensive? If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have been taken away by a wolf when I was three years old. Do you think my life is more valuable or this helmet?¡± Lucy said with a smile. ¡°This¡­ that¡¯s different¡­¡± Hades smiled bitterly. ¡°How is it different? Besides, your gaming awareness is so strong. I don¡¯t want to see you fall further and further away from your dream,¡± Lucy said. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. If you don¡¯t accept it, you won¡¯t acknowledge me as your good friend.¡± Before Hades finished, Lucy interrupted him. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t think of me as a good friend,¡± Lucy said carefully. After all, after they left, they were basically people from two different worlds. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for three years. Lucy didn¡¯t know her place in Hades¡¯ heart either. ¡°Of course not. We¡¯re good siblings.¡± ¡°Brother and sister¡­¡± Lucy murmured in a voice that Hades couldn¡¯t hear clearly. But soon, she laughed again. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Let¡¯s get into the game.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Hades nodded. Just like that, after hanging up the phone¡­ He turned on the helmet and put it on with anticipation. Then, a familiar voice that he had not heard for a long time sounded in his mind. ¡°The game is about to start¡­ Please wait patiently.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The familiar sound of a game notification rang in his ears. Hades calmed his mind and began to enter the game world. This world was a fantasy ancient battlefield. Monsters, smoke, and war were everywhere. Similarly, human corpses and monster corpses could be seen everywhere. Seeing this familiar game interface again, excitement flashed in Hades¡¯ eyes. Haha, I¡¯m here. This time, I must make the entire world grovel at my feet. ¡°Welcome to the world. I¡¯m very happy to meet you. Please begin your mysterious adventure.¡± Under this familiar notification, Hades smiled in his heart. If he remembered correctly, the next step was the most important step. That was to choose a class. A class determined the direction of a character¡¯s development and also the direction of the future dungeon. The interface flashed and seven altars appeared in front of Hades. There was a huge stone statue on each altar, which was the image of various classes. Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Assassin, Priest, Knight, Summoner. ¡°Please begin your selection. Your class is definitely the direction of your evolution¡­¡± ¡°Detected that you are a distinguished VIP user. You have triggered a special reward: God¡¯s Bloodline!¡± [God¡¯s Bloodline (Epic): A natural ranger. Can gain the favor of the god¡¯s race.] [Epic Effect¡ªGift of Strength: +10% hit rate, +10% critical rate, +10% dodge rate, +10% movement speed.] The god¡¯s bloodline was naturally compatible with rangers. It was practically a race tailor-made for rangers. As expected, just like in his previous life, Hades wasn¡¯t the slightest bit surprised. Next was the most crucial thing. Awakening one¡¯s own innate ability. Each character could randomly obtain an ability. Whether the ability was good or bad depended on one¡¯s own luck. The vast majority of the abilities were low-level abilities, such as +1 damage resistance. However, players with limited edition helmets were different. They could obtain some higher-level abilities. This was because this was the advantage of whales. A golden treasure chest appeared in front of Hades. One could draw innate abilities from it. In his previous life, he had drawn an ability that increased his combat power by 20%. This was already very powerful. However, he did not know if there would be any changes in this life. This also affected his future prospects in ¡°Open!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining a God-Level Ability ¨C Evolution.¡± Huh? What was going on? A god-level ability? What kind of ability was this? And what was evolution? Hades was stunned for a moment and then he fell into ecstasy. This was because he quickly discovered the power of this god-tier ability. [Talent¡ªEvolution (God-Tier): Treasure that falls to the ground when monsters are being attacked will trigger the passive evolution effect. The monster drops have a 100% chance of moving up one level and a 5% chance of triggering the ultimate evolution and thus moving up two levels. (Note: Through evolution, items that surpass the current highest item level in the game can appear.)] [God-Level Effect¡ªAutonomous Evolution (Active Effect): Items, equipment, skills, gems, and other promotable items have a 100% chance of moving up two levels and a 10% chance of moving up three levels. The cooldown will last 24 hours. (Note: This effect doesn¡¯t stack with the passive evolution effect. The same item or ability can only evolute once.)] This ability was too terrifying. For example, after killing a normal boss, the other party would drop bronze or silver equipment. Hades would at least drop gold, platinum, and even higher items. Whether it was selling money or his own equipment, he was definitely extremely powerful. That was because, in the other world, the most difficult thing was to survive. When the other party was still wearing trash equipment, he would change into a set of gold equipment. He would not even be able to stand up and let the other party fight him. The treasures that other players yearned for, he would randomly drop them. If this were to spread out, who knows how many people would envy him. Moreover, the most heaven-defying thing was that evolution could produce godly equipment that surpassed the level of the game! Was this really not a bug in the program? This kind of ability was much stronger than the previous 20% increase. If the previous 20% increase in combat power was candlelight, then the ability to evolve at this time was definitely a blazing sun! After opening the innate ability treasure chest, Hades discovered that there was also an innate helmet exclusive golden treasure chest inside, which could be used to extract items or skills early on. He decisively opened it. A ray of green light jumped up. A skill book with an eye logo appeared in front of his eyes. [Eyes of the Fire Dragon (Inheritance): Able to discover the weakness of the target, attack the weak spot, causing 150% to 200% critical damage. Mana Cost: 20 points. Cooldown Time: 120 seconds. (All-Class Common Skill)] What a good item! This skill was worth it. It matched well with rangers and was very practical. A class with fast movement speed could quickly discover the opponent¡¯s weakness with this skill. If this skill was good, it would not be any worse than other epic-level talents. He did not hesitate to learn this skill. ¡°Please name your name!¡± Only then did Hades realize that he had not written down his ID. He thought for a moment and directly named himself: Hand of God ¡°The name is successful. Welcome to the game. I wish you happy playing.¡± The surrounding scenery was spinning. After that, Hades must have come to an unfamiliar world. He looked around and found that he had appeared in a crowded place. At this moment, a pig had just appeared in the novice village when a large group of people swarmed over and killed it. The pig had not even started its own life yet but it had died with a dumbfounded expression. ¡°I¡¯ve finally arrived at the game world. Hahaha, the series of my lifetime.¡± ¡°I must sweep through the world this time. After all, I¡¯m the hope of the entire village.¡± ¡°Little monsters, do you feel this daddy¡¯s strength?¡± ¡°This time, I want to prove my existence. I am the supreme one.¡± Hearing the heroic words of the people around him, Hades smiled and looked at his own miracle ability. He still did not know how to use this ability. He planned to find something to evolve. Chapter 3 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hades picked up a stone. When he was about to evolve, a line of words came from the stone. [Cannot be leveled up!] Note: God-tier abilities can only level up equipment or monster drops. Hades nodded. If picking up an item could level up and evolve, then this ability was too heaven-defying. Thus, he directly threw away the stone in his hand. At this moment, Hades recalled that previously in the rookie village, there had been a group of people attacking pigs. A variety of colors had appeared. Those were the skill effects of a class. He was also somewhat curious about his own skills, so he turned his mind and checked his own attack skills. Blade Aura (Normal): Slash out a blade aura in front of the target, causing 50% damage to the target. 10% chance to trigger the armor-piercing effect. Effect lasts for 3 seconds. The effect can not be stacked. Mana Cost: 10 points. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Haste (Normal): Can greatly increase your running speed, directly increasing your basic speed by 5%. No cost. Lasts for 30 minutes. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Seeing that his two skills from his previous life had not changed, Hades was slightly relieved. He also pulled up his interface. Character: [Hand of God] Level: LV1 Race: God Clan Class: Ranger Talent: Evolution (God-Tier) Skills: [Haste], [Blade Aura], [Eyes of the Fire Dragon (Inheritance)] Attributes: Strength: 4 Vitality: 5 Agility: 5 Spirit: 5 Attack: 12 Defense: 5 Health: 500 Mana: 30 Hit: 10 Critical hit: 5% Attack Speed: 1.3 (2 attacks per second, initial value: 1.0) Movement Speed: 50 Charm: 4 At this moment, a message appeared in his interface. It showed the player [Fish Heart Yan] ¡°Hello, Hades. Guess who I am?¡± Seeing this slightly playful tone, Hades smiled in his heart. If it wasn¡¯t Lucy, who else could it be? He quickly returned to the game. ¡°Lucy, you¡¯re online so soon?¡± ¡°Yeah, I want to get online early and level up by killing monsters.¡± ¡°Level up by killing monsters? Do you need to kill monsters as a priest?¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t kill monsters. I¡¯ll just heal you and support you. Hehe. God, you have to carry me well.¡± ¡°No problem. Let¡¯s gather in the Quest Hall.¡± After the agreement was made, Hades planned to meet up with Lucy in the Quest Hall to complete the quest together. However, before going to any hall, they had to pass through a tunnel. The Savage Tunnel, which was also the first new player dungeon. In his previous life, Hades had experienced this dungeon. Although this dungeon was very difficult, Hades did not panic. Wild Mountain Bandits (Level 1) HP: 100 Attack: 10 Defense: 1 If these mountain bandits fought one-on-one, they would not be very strong. However, there were more than a dozen of them in this dungeon. Moreover, it would not be over after just one wave. Hades smiled and turned the wooden sword in his hand. Although he was not very strong at the moment, he was a powerhouse from the previous season. He had long been familiar with everything here. What¡¯s more, it was only a small beginner village dungeon. He didn¡¯t even use any skills. He only relied on his powerful movement techniques to dodge and attack. Pu! A sword aura accurately slashed at the mountain bandit, causing 43 points of damage. ¡°Enemy attack!¡± The mountain bandit shouted, immediately waking up the mountain bandits around him. However, before they could react. Hades activated Blade Aura. Whoosh! A few shocking sword auras tore through the air, directly slashing towards the bandits who had yet to get up. Damage: +151 +148 ¡­ A series of damage numbers appeared. Before the bandits could get up, they were instantly killed by Hades. A few blue water plums dropped. These were mana recovery consumables. ¡°Oh my god, this person is so fierce.¡± A player watched from the side. He had just failed to participate in this challenge. ¡°Yeah, this person is really strong. I didn¡¯t expect to see such a big shot in the beginner village.¡± ¡°Awesome, this is definitely not something a rookie can do.¡± ¡­ At this moment, a bunch of system voices sounded in Hades¡¯ mind. ¡°You used blade aura to kill a mountain bandit. Gained +5 EXP!¡± ¡°You used blade aura to kill two mountain bandits. Gained +10 exp!¡± ¡°You used blade aura to kill three mountain bandits. Gained +15 EXP!¡± ¡­ Just like that, under wave after wave of attacks. Hades relied on his exquisite movement techniques and the proficiency of his previous life, as well as the constantly exploding blue plum blossom. He directly killed all three waves of bandits. At this time, Hades had already reached level 3. The increase in level naturally increased his basic stats. Attributes: Strength: 4¡ú8 Vitality: 5¡ú10 Agility: 5¡ú7 Spirit: 5¡ú7 Attack: 12¡ú24 At this time, the fourth wave of bandits respawned. The newly appeared bandits started to have elite monsters. Elite Bandits, Level 3. The so-called elite monsters were monsters with strong physiques and higher basic stats than normal monsters ¡­ There weren¡¯t many of them. Among the twenty bandits, there were only two. As the bandits closed in, Hades instantly erupted. Activating Blade Aura, a sword shadow appeared in the sky. It directly charged towards the elite bandits. Pu! The elite bandit was killed by the sword shadow. He disappeared into the dungeon. Following that, the other normal bandits were quickly killed. ¡°You used your blade aura to kill two elite bandits. Obtained +20 EXP!¡± ¡°You used your blade aura to kill 18 bandits. Obtained +90 EXP!¡± With over 100 EXP, Hades leveled up to level 4. This level increase naturally made Hades happy but what made him even happier was that this elite bandit had dropped a bronze treasure chest. With this treasure chest, one could see the effects of the evolution of a god-tier ability. Chapter 4 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Oh my god, this is way too strong.¡± ¡°Yeah, he wiped out the mountain bandit gang by himself.¡± ¡°When the elite monsters died just now, what was that light beam?¡± ¡°This is a treasure chest. Only elite monsters have a chance of dropping it. I really didn¡¯t expect this newbie to have such a good thing.¡± ¡°Comparing people is infuriating. I¡¯m really envious.¡± ¡­ The envious voices of the crowd naturally did not affect Hades. He was now looking forward to this treasure chest. ¡°Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining two bronze treasure chests.¡± A familiar voice sounded in Hades¡¯ mind. He smiled slightly. Although this bronze treasure chest was the lowest grade treasure chest, it could only give old equipment or incomplete cultivation methods. However, he had the god-grade ability, evolution. Right now, Hades was extremely excited. He wanted to try and evolve. He wanted to see if it was really like the system had explained before, which could directly raise the quality of the reward by two levels. He immediately opened these two bronze treasure chests. [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining the Damaged Martial Artist Sword.] [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining the Shabby Bloodline Enhancement Skill.] [Item 1: Damaged Martial Artist Sword. Equipment Level Requirement: Can be used below Level 10. Attack Power: +24.] [Item 2: Shabby Bloodline Enhancement Skill. Level Requirement: Can be used below level 20. Effect: Increases the user¡¯s bloodline power, strengthening the user¡¯s basic attributes in all aspects. Strength +5, Vitality +5, Agility +7, Spirit +5, Defense +5, Health +300, Mana +150.] Hades¡¯ expression did not change. It was clear that he had expected this result. Although his attributes were very ordinary, he still had the system. He smiled and said, ¡°Level up.¡± Ding! The form of the damaged martial artist sword emitted a strong golden light. Deng! A sword that was completely covered in cold light appeared before Hades¡¯ eyes. [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining the Golden Battle Sword.] Ding! The shabby bloodline enhancement technique also emitted a strong golden light. Ding! A thick and heavy sheepskin book appeared in front of Hades. [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining the Golden Bloodline Enhancement Technique.] [May I ask if the Hand of God will use the Golden Bloodline Enhancement Technique?] Use. Hades said without hesitation. Then, he felt a warm current flowing into his body. Ding! [Used bloodline enhancement successfully. Congratulations to the Hand of God for improving your physique.] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Hades immediately opened the interface and checked. Name: [Hand of God] Level: LV4 Race: God Clan Class: Ranger Talent: Evolution (God-Tier) Skills: Haste, Blade Aura, Eyes of the Fire Dragon (Inheritance) Attributes: Strength: 4¡ú46 Vitality: 5¡ú34 Agility: 5¡ú13 Spirit: 5¡ú32 Attack: 12¡ú77 Defense: 5¡ú32 HP: 500¡ú2,800 MP: 30¡ú600 Hit: 10¡ú30 Critical Hit: 5% ¡ú13% Attack Speed: 1.3(attacks 2 times per second, initial value is 1.0) Movement Speed: 50¡ú80 Charm: 4¡ú9 Skills: All of his stats had basically doubled, and some of the more important stats had even doubled. Hades was stunned. ¡°These¡­ These kinds of stats is probably comparable to the combat strength of a level 10 player in the past.¡± Hades was only level 4 and, in the past, Hades¡¯ level 10 was not an ordinary level 10 player. In fact, in terms of defense and HP, he was even higher than a warrior. He could totally be a tank. After all, the class he chose was a ranger. It was hard to imagine that a ranger would be as strong as a tank. It must be known that rangers were characterized by high explosive power and high speed. On the other hand, tanks were characterized by defense. The advantage of rangers was the disadvantage of warriors, while the advantage of warriors was the disadvantage of rangers. Now, Hades had combined the advantages of both classes. One could imagine how terrifying this was. Hades glanced at the gold-tier weapon in his inventory. Although he had equipped countless gold-tier equipment before, he had never been able to equip a gold-tier weapon before reaching level 5 like this. One had to know that such a gold-tier weapon could only be dropped in a level 20 dungeon. Now that he could equip it, how could he not be happy. More importantly, in this game, there was no gold-tier equipment below level 20. However, Hades not only had it, but it was also open to all levels. In other words, if he did not want to use this weapon, he could auction it off. This was also a sky-high price. Ding! [Congratulations to the Hand of God for equipping the Golden Battle Sword.] Hades waved the golden long sword in his hand, creating a sword flash. His attack power directly went from 77 to 101¡­ Feeling his own strength soaring, Hades was now very inflated. If he met this group of bandits again, he would at most be able to take them all away with one move. A group of level 3 monsters to fight a level 4. Oh. No, rather a combination of a high-level ranger and a warrior with at least level 15 combat power. Who was the monster and who was the challenger? However, at this time, a few high-level warriors in the crowd were extremely envious. They did not see Hades opening the treasure chest before but only saw that Hades was directly equipped with this top-tier weapon. Their hearts were incomparably red, thinking that Hades was just lucky. Moreover, the most important thing was that a level 4 ranger, in front of a group of level 5 warriors, how could he not yield? They wanted to directly snatch it. They exchanged glances and then shouted unkindly. ¡°Hey, that brat over there, his luck is not bad. He can drop a weapon. Let me see it.¡± ¡°Yes, hand it over obediently, or else¡­¡± ¡°Huh? Or else what?¡± Hearing the other party¡¯s unkind words, Hades naturally did not shrink back and said calmly. Chapter 5 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Otherwise, your gaming career will end here.¡± A level 5 warrior said sinisterly. They had already surrounded Hades, which prevented him from displaying his ranger advantage. ¡°Interesting. It seems that this kid doesn¡¯t understand the rules of our Blood Hand Guild. Brothers, teach him a lesson!¡± ¡°Big Brother, you don¡¯t need to be a level 5 warrior. I, a level 4 mage, can kill him.¡± A gray-robed mage laughed. ¡°Can you do it? Rangers are very effective against mages.¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m the strongest mage in the future of Help me surround him and let me try out my newly learned fireball spell. Let¡¯s see if I can do it.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Hearing their conversation, Hades was stunned. Could it be that these bunch of brats treated him as a lab rat to practice their moves? Forget it, since they were so confident, he would teach them how to behave. Boom! A scorching fireball flew towards him. Hades smiled and stood there without moving. ¡°Hahaha, his spoils of war are mi¡ª¡­¡± Before the gray-robed mage could finish his sentence, his eyes bulged as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world. Damage -12. A number appeared on Hades¡¯body. This was the damage that the gray-robed mage had dealt to Hades. ¡°Impossible! My fireball could instantly kill a mountain bandit. How could it not even kill a ranger of the same level?¡± ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s not going to hurt him at all.¡± ¡­ Rangers did not have high defense and they were no match for bandits of the same level. Mages were a long-ranged class with low defense, so they were afraid of close combat. However, Hades stood right in front of him and let him hit him. Not to mention killing Hades, he can¡¯t even do the most basic damage. How could this not shock them? The warriors of the Blood Hand Guild also noticed this anomaly. One of the level 5 warriors narrowed his eyes and shouted, ¡°Brothers, this guy is quite strong. Let¡¯s attack directly.¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Five level 4 warriors attacked from all directions. There were three assassins hiding beside them, and two level 5 mages were hiding behind the warriors. Rip! A colorful move was unleashed in this small tunnel. Hades smiled slightly. He was not flustered at all in the face of so many attacks. Then, he circulated his movement technique and instantly disappeared on the spot. Boom! A powerful attack directly hit a level 5 warrior. Damage +321 This was damage without weapons. This attack melted the opponent. Before they could react¡­ The warriors around them were killed by Hades one by one. ¡°Oh my god, is this really the damage a ranger can deal?¡± ¡°Is this guy a bug? Why is he so fierce?¡± ¡°I give up, he¡¯s really fierce.¡± ¡°Run, I can¡¯t keep up with his terrifying speed at all!¡± ¡­ The members of the Blood Hand Guild were a mess as they ran in all directions. However, how could Hades give this group of charlatans a chance to escape? They had wanted to kill and steal the treasure just now. He took out the golden battle sword in his hand, and a ray of light directly hacked over. Crash! A dazzling sword light appeared as if it could break the sky! The sword light directly attacked the group of mages, killing them with a single slash. It was a lot to say but it was all done in an instant. [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining experience +100] [Congratulations to the player for obtaining a Worn-Out Staff, a Worn-Out Bow, a Worn-Out Battle Blade¡­] Ding! [Congratulations to the player for reaching level 5 for the Hand of God. ] After killing these 10 players, Hades immediately leveled up to level 5. However, he took a look at the damaged weapons in his inventory and his heart skipped a beat. Could he level up these equipment? If he could, he could sell them for gold coins. Gold coins were linked to the aristocratic family¡¯s real-world currency system. That would be awesome. Hades quickly immersed his mind and communicated with the upgrade system. However, the strange thing was that no matter how much he wanted to evolve them, the system was like a mute, not saying a word. In other words, this kind of equipment could only be used to upgrade the system after he obtained the items from the treasure chest when he was in a dungeon. Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying. However, Hades was not depressed. Although these pieces of trash equipment could not be upgraded, they could be sold for gold coins. When everyone was new, basic equipment was a very popular item. With a thought, he quickly opened the auction. The auction had two functions. One was to auction, and the other was for players to trade with each other. The auction function was very easy to understand. There was no intermediary fee. The auction time and starting price were set by the owner. The transaction rules were relatively free and items could be exchanged. Or they could be given directly to the other party without giving money. After understanding the simple rules, Hades immediately put all these miscellaneous items on the auction column. But just as these messages were put up¡­ [Worn-Out Bow and Arrows, Worn-Out Straw Clothes, Worn-Out Battle Sword, Worn-Out Long Saber¡­ The starting price is 50 gold coins. The time limit is 1 day.] The auction channel immediately exploded. ¡°F*ck, someone is selling beginner equipment.¡± ¡°And it only needs gold coins. Just 50 gold coins can be exchanged for 12 pieces of beginner equipment!¡± ¡°If this is sold second-hand, it can also be tripled.¡± ¡°Look carefully, this is the starting price of 50 gold coins, not the final price. If no one is bidding, you can buy it with only 50 gold coins.¡± ¡°F*ck me, this beginner¡¯s equipment is too hard to beat. How did this boss manage to get it? Lemme hug your thighs.¡± ¡°Brother Hand of God, can you give me a beginner¡¯s staff? If you meet me, I can agree to any of your requests.¡± ¡­ Chapter 6 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL In this game, not everyone was like Hades, who had a god-tier ability like evolution. Moreover, they did not have the experience of two lifetimes Hades did. To just enter the world and already had ten years of experience from a previous life. Not to mention the newbies in the novice village. They might not even be able to kill an ordinary mountain bandit. Hades wanted to be a man at the peak of Miracle in this life. How could he have too much to do with these weaklings? After closing the auction, Hades planned to pass through the tunnel entrance and walk directly to the Quest Hall. In a short while, Hades arrived at the Quest Hall that was full of people. He looked over and saw that it was a sea of people. He could not see Lucy at all. Therefore, he quickly opened the message interface and contacted Lucy. ¡°Lucy, are you in the Quest Hall?¡± In a short while, Lucy replied. ¡°Ah, why are you so fast? I¡¯m still conquering the mountain bandit dungeon. I need to wait a little longer.¡± Mountain bandit dungeon? Wasn¡¯t that the dungeon he had just cleared? This dungeon was quite difficult for a normal newbie. To not even mention a novice priest. It was even more difficult. One had to know that priests did not have any offensive skills in the early stages. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a little priest fooling around? This mountain bandit dungeon is quite difficult. Without you, the game journey would really be over.¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Hearing Hades¡¯ lightly concerned words, Lucy laughed and said, ¡°Brother, I know. I have a party member now. It¡¯s basically no problem for me to fight a small dungeon.¡± ¡°Well, when you come to the Quest Hall, send me a geographical sign. I¡¯ll meet you right away.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll meet you later. I¡¯ll leave a big surprise for you.¡± After Lucy ended the conversation, she giggled. She was now in this bandit dungeon, fighting monsters with her party members back and forth. She had been earning EXP all this time. Now, she was already two levels high. She really wanted to see Hades¡¯ shocked expression when he saw her level. But Hades, on the other hand, did not know what the other party was thinking. Right now, he was walking towards an NPC. Although this NPC was a white-haired old man, his appearance was a little ugly. His body was tattered and his aura was a little wretched. But in Hades¡¯ eyes, this NPC was the ultimate existence. This was because this NPC was an important NPC who gave a hidden class when he was level 5 in his previous life. ¡°Hello, Grandpa Norton.¡± ¡°Hello, brave warrior. Today is really a happy day,¡± the old man said. ¡°Grandpa Norton, I want to accept a hidden class quest,¡± Hades said calmly. ¡°Quest? I don¡¯t have a quest here but I¡¯ve been single all my life. I just want to date the lady boss of the Moon Hotel for a day. Can you give me 50 gold coins?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Hades said excitedly. Although this NPC looked wretched, it was one of the few characters that could grant a hidden class. Moreover, it was an extremely precious enchanter in the Miracle world. Enchanter was a hidden class. Not everyone could trigger this quest. In fact, it was impossible for many people to obtain this class. It was not because the requirements were very high and it was too difficult to obtain. One had to know that Hades did not obtain a hidden class in his previous life. In order to obtain information about the hidden class, he spent a lot of time and experience. This quest could only be accepted at level five. Moreover, it was already very difficult to obtain 50 gold coins in the early stages. Additionally, the prerequisite for triggering the quest was to give money to a wretched old man for a date. Who knew if this would go down the drain. However, these difficulties weren¡¯t important to Hades, who had to start all over again. He opened the menu to the auction house and planned to directly sell all of the novice equipment in the auction house. Auction Information: Character: Hand of God Novice Weapon(s): Worn-Out Bow and Arrows, Worn-Out Straw Clothes, Worn-Out Battle Sword, Worn-Out Long Saber¡­ The starting price was 50 gold coins. The current bidding price is 280 gold coins. There are still 22 hours and 37 minutes left in the auction. Are you sure you want to sell it? Hades directly clicked ¡®Yes.¡¯ Ding! [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining 280 gold coins.] Hades was slightly delighted. He did not expect that after only a few minutes, the price had increased by several times. If he could confirm it after the auction, he could sell it for more gold coins. However, he needed gold coins now. Moreover, it was for such an important mission. He could clearly distinguish who was more important. After giving 50 gold coins to Norton, Hades¡¯ interface received a mysterious message. ¡°Little guy, since you can contribute to this old man¡¯s single life, this old man won¡¯t hide it anymore.¡± ¡°My job is to be an enchanter. If you want to be an enchanter, go to the Wild Beast Forest and bring me the Wild Boar King¡¯s tusks.¡± ¡°This old man is kind enough to remind you that this Wild Boar King has both offense and defense. Moreover, it¡¯s a level 8 monster. If you want to keep your life, you¡¯d better go at level 10. Don¡¯t do anything rash.¡± [The system has detected a hidden class, Enchanter. Player, do you accept? ] ¡°Accept!¡± Hades said firmly. Ding! [Congratulations to the player for successfully accepting. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. Hades walked towards a winding path that led to the Wild Boar King. Similarly, this direction was also the direction of the novice village. Chapter 7 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Beginner¡¯s Zone 3521 ¨C Wild Beast Forest. A determined-looking young man appeared upon this black land. He was Hades, who had just arrived at Wild Beast Forest. The air in this area faintly smelled of blood. There were many rocks on the ground. When Hades arrived here, there were also some other adventuring players. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Which faction is this person from? Bloodfang or Sirius?¡± ¡°It seems like he¡¯s one person.¡± ¡°One person? And he¡¯s a level 5 ranger? He actually dares to come to this level 8 dungeon?¡± ¡°Yeah. Moreover, he just entered the inner area. I really don¡¯t know what kind of death wish he has. There are two lizard monsters here. Veteran players like us don¡¯t dare to enter the inner area. We can only wander around the outer area.¡± ¡­ Ever since Hades appeared in the Wild Beast Forest, everyone didn¡¯t think highly of him. Some people even directly ignored him. All their attention was on the two lizards in front of them. One of the lizards was already blind with only one eye left. The other one was sleeping soundly. It looked like it was resting. However, no one dared to approach it. This resting lizard monster was an even higher level than the one-eyed lizard monster. It was already level 6. The few of them were already having a hard time defeating a level 5 baby lizard monster, how could they dare to touch this lizard monster. They did not even dare to step on the pebbles beneath their feet, afraid that they would wake this creature up. [Lizard Monster] Level: 5 Attack Power: 21 HP: 800/800 Movement Speed: 60 Weakness: The small horn on the head. When attacking this area, it can deal 150% damage. Under the effect of the Eyes of the Fire Dragon, he could see all the information about this one-eyed lizard monster. Seeing this, Hades smiled. Even if he did not use this skill, he was not afraid of this monster. Right now, he just wanted to familiarize himself with it. He directly walked towards the lizard monster. Because these two lizard monsters blocked his path, he didn¡¯t want to take a long path. He only wanted to take a shortcut and quickly finish off this hidden quest. At this time, the one-eyed lizard¡¯s eyes turned and it discovered Hades¡¯ movements. This small level 5 player actually dared to invade their territory. This directly angered it. A vicious glint flashed across the one-eyed lizard¡¯s eyes. The one-eyed lizard charged forward. Ten meters. Eight meters. Six meters. Three meters. One meter! Just as the one-eyed lizard charged at Hades, Hades calmly threw a jab at the one-eyed lizard. Without hesitation! Peng! When the two collided, the one-eyed lizard was sent flying. The one-eyed lizard fell to the ground, instantly becoming dispirited When everyone saw this, their eyes bulged in shock. They had thought that this level 5 ranger would be killed by the one-eyed lizard¡¯s ferocious charge. However, not only did the one-eyed lizard remain unharmed but the ranger had even knocked it unconscious with a single punch. It seemed as if the ranger hadn¡¯t used all of his strength yet. Wuu! The one-eyed lizard let out a pained roar, waking up the other lizard monster. ¡°Oh no, this elite lizard is not an ordinary lizard.¡± ¡°He¡¯s really dead. The elite lizard is more than one or two times stronger than an ordinary lizard.¡± ¡°Yeah, this lizard is obviously a good friend of the previous lizard.¡± ¡­ The crowd¡¯s noisy voices could be heard. All of them were not optimistic about Hades. They all thought that he would be killed in the next second. On the other side, the level 6 lizard saw that its companion was injured. It instantly burst out and completely lost its mind. It lashed out with its tail and attacked Hades crazily. However, Hades¡¯ current basic stats were so strong. How could he be defeated by such an attack? Hades grabbed the lizard¡¯s tail, grabbed it, and threw it back and forth. He threw it back and forth. Bang! Bang! Bang! The lizard was thrown up like a toy in Hades¡¯ hands. This was only based on the strength of the basic data. It did not rely on any other cultivation techniques or things. After the lizard was thrown into disarray, Hades threw it casually. The lizard flew out and rolled over ten meters before it stopped. Gulp. The surrounding people all gaped¡ªespecially the warriors. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Was this person really a ranger? Was he really not a warrior dressed as a ranger? Some of the people who doubted Hades before only felt pain in their faces. They thought that Hades didn¡¯t even want to remind them out of kindness, let alone fighting monsters. They only wanted to see him as a joke. But now, seeing how fierce Hades was, the two lizard monsters instantly ran away. ¡°What a pity,¡± Hades thought to himself. If the elite monster was killed, there might be a certain chance that it would drop a treasure chest. But Hades immediately gathered his emotions and left. Because his target wasn¡¯t these two lizards. Moreover, the boss in the Wild Beast Forest was the Wild Boar King. Just as Hades walked into the depths of the Wild Beast Forest, a voice came from the crowd ¡°Wait.¡± A young woman¡¯s voice came. ¡°Huh?¡± Hades stopped and turned around. The person who came was a petite little loli. She wore a dark red robe and was a level 6 summoner. ¡°There¡¯s a powerful monster ahead. My baby was scared away when he heard its voice. Don¡¯t go over there, it¡¯s very dangerous,¡± she said weakly, her hands gesturing non-stop. ¡°Monster? What monster?¡±Hades asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I¡¯ve never seen it before¡­¡± the little loli said softly. ¡°Alright.¡± Hades shook his head, feeling a little helpless. If it was information from the Wild Boar King, that would be great. Boom! At this moment, a shocking roar came from the depths of the Wild Beast Forest. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, that¡¯s the sound!¡± Hades was delighted. This was the voice of the Wild Boar King. ¡°Quick, bring me to it.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The people around were shocked. This young man was actually going to look for the Wild Boar King! ¡°Little Brother, there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know. This Wild Boar King is already level 5.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s already killed quite a few members of our Sky Wolf Guild.¡± ¡°Although your strength isn¡¯t bad, you shouldn¡¯t be willful. It¡¯s best for us to travel together. It¡¯s best for you to join our guild and explore together.¡± ¡°Go, go, go. Little Brother is a ranger. Naturally, you¡¯ll come to our Bloodfang Guild. Our Bloodfang Guild is filled with assassins. For a burst-DPS class like the ranger, come join Bloodfang.¡± ¡­ Noisy voices kept coming from everyone¡¯s mouths. Hades had no intention of joining a guild at all. In his previous life, he had never created a guild. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen a ranger. ¡°Little Brother, can you help me find my baby? My baby is still alive. I don¡¯t know what to do now¡­¡± the little loli summoner¡¯s eyes were red as she asked Hades. Chapter 8 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hades had a good impression of this little girl. There were so many people just now and it was this little girl who kindly reminded him. So he said to the little girl, ¡°I don¡¯t know your precious pet, you can come with me.¡± The little summoner nodded happily, ¡°Okay, thank you, Brother.¡± ¡°Hey! Linda is a member of my Bloodfang Guild, how can you take her away?¡± A man with yellow hair and blue eyes shouted. The more members there were in the guild, the more reputation points the founder of the guild had. He had wanted to invite Hades to join his Bloodfang Guild. He did not expect this man to not only not join but also take his members away. Hades¡¯ behavior made him a little angry. ¡°Hahaha, the Wild Boar King is the strongest boss in our newbie zone. Are you going to find the Wild Boar King to be tortured?¡± Another member of the Sirius Guild ridiculed. ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t even kill a lizard monster. We¡¯ve been ambushing here for two days. We could have killed at least one of them but now they¡¯ve escaped. Everyone¡¯s efforts have been for naught.¡± ¡°Wild Boar King? Wash up and go to sleep. I admit that you¡¯re very strong when it comes to defeating lizard monsters but don¡¯t think too much of yourself.¡± ¡­ A disdainful voice, a skeptical tone, a mocking tone, and a ridiculing tone continuously attacked Hades. The weak were like this. They could not stand to see others being good. Especially when they were stronger than them. They always liked to step on others. But Hades was unmoved. He did not want to be known by most people when he accepted the hidden mission. So he turned around and left. Linda, who was at the side, saw this and quickly followed. ¡°Hey, Linda, do you really want to go with him? Leave the Bloodfang Guild?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± A hesitant look appeared in Linda¡¯s eyes. ¡°You must know that our Bloodfang Guild was established by Sir Edward. If you leave, don¡¯t come back.¡± Hearing this, Linda¡¯s eyes became confused. But, very soon, her eyes became firm. She turned her head and walked towards Hades. ¡°Humph, you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡±After saying this, they left this place. ¡­ Hades and Linda walked deeper and deeper. This area was the depths of the Wild Beast Forest, called the Thunder Ruins. Rumble! The sky became darker and darker, and thunder could be heard from time to time. Linda followed behind Hades, getting closer and closer. ¡°Ah!¡± Linda stumbled and fell directly. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Hades asked. ¡°I can feel that my pet is very scared. They are all very scared¡­¡± Linda paused and said, ¡°There is danger ahead.¡± As soon as she said that, a bolt of lightning struck down, directly blocking the path of Hades and Linda. At this time, a few powerful brown wild boars appeared in front of him. Their eyes were red. They were very scary and gave off a terrifying aura. Eyes of the Fire Dragon! [Wild Boar] Level: 7 Attack Power: 60 Defense: 34 HP: 800/800 Movement Speed: 60 Skill: Wild Boar¡¯s Charge (Level 2): Wild boar¡¯s attack has a 20% chance of causing a critical hit on the target. After a critical hit, each attack will cause the target to lose 10 HP per second. Lasts for 10 seconds. Weakness: Three inches from the wild boar¡¯s abdomen. When attacking this area, it can cause 150% to 200% damage. Hades¡¯ heart skipped a beat. This wild boar¡¯s defense was a little high. If Hades had seen such a thankless monster before, he would have immediately turned around and left. Not to mention normal players. They would not even look at it. But now, with the effect of the Eyes of the Fire Dragon, he was not afraid at all. Little Piggy, come to me. Under Linda¡¯s shocked gaze, Hades directly went up to meet it. He punched out. -170 This damage was a little low. To this level 7 brute force boar, this was too weak. After all, his HP was 800. If he wanted to kill this beast, he would need at least five punches to kill one. Now, there were five wild boars in front of him. In other words, he would need 25 punches to kill these wild boars. ¡°These wild boars are so hard to kill. Why don¡¯t we retreat first?¡± Linda said. However, before Linda could react¡­ Hades attacked directly. ¡°Blade Aura!¡± A sword light directly hit the wild boar. A number appeared on the sword light. -915! It was a one-hit kill. Before Linda could react, another few flashes of sword light came. -924 -911 -932 -941 An explosive damage count appeared on the wild boar. The four wild boars instantly disappeared. They dropped a few gold coins. If they were not elite monsters, they could not drop treasure chests. Not even the lowest level treasure chests. This made Hades feel a little regretful. However, all of this made Linda, who was watching from the side, flabbergasted. [Congratulations to the Hand of God for obtaining 50 gold coins.] The number of gold coins in the inventory had reached 240. However, at this moment, a silly little pet appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. [Flame Bird] Level: 3 Attack: 22 Defense: 14 HP: 20/300 Movement Speed: 100 Skills: Soaring in the Sky (Level 2): Support-type pet. Able to fly with others. Summoner¡¯s precious pet. Able to level up as the summoner levels up. At this moment, this flame bird was extremely dispirited. It was covered in injuries and looked like it was about to die. ¡°Xiaolie, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Linda hurriedly ran forward, wanting to hug her summoned beast. Boom! At this moment, the ground began to shake violently, and a large amount of smoke and dust appeared. It was as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, causing people to be unable to open their eyes. A wild boar that was larger than the previous five wild boars appeared in front of Hades. [Wild Boar King] Level: 8 Attack Power: 90 Defense: 64 HP: 1,800/1,800 Movement Speed: 70 Skill: Wild Boar¡¯s Charge (Level 3): Wild boar¡¯s attack has a 50% chance of causing a critical hit on the target. After a critical hit, each attack will cause the target to lose 30 HP per second. Lasts for 10 seconds. Weakness: Three inches from the Wild Boar King¡¯s abdomen. When attacking this area, the target will deal 150% damage. The flame bird did not dare to move due to the strong pressure to suppress emanating from the other side. And its powerful attack and defense. Such attributes were even more alarming. Makes one not want to fight it at all. Especially with 1,800 HP. It¡¯s hopeless. To see her baby terrified by the brute force of the Boar King. Linda launched a direct attack. The spiritual light in her hands flickered continuously as she charged towards the Boar King. -15 -13 -18 -20 ¡­ A level 3 Summoner¡¯s attack was like a tickle to it. Although the damage wasn¡¯t painful to it, the attacks infuriated it. Roar! A loud roar sounded as the soil on the ground was trampled over by it. Accompanied by thick smoke and dust, it charged towards Linda. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± Linda was scared silly. She couldn¡¯t move at all and didn¡¯t know what to do. Only fear remained in her heart. This time, she would definitely die. This was the last thought in Linda¡¯s mind before she closed her eyes. However, at that moment, a golden light slashed towards her. ¨C Chapter 9 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL This sword light was naturally Hades¡¯ move. Before the Wild Boar King could figure out what had happened, it had already fallen to the ground. -1910! This damage was the total damage that Hades had dealt from the Golden Battle Sword, Blade Aura, and attacking the Wild Boar King¡¯s abdomen weak point. He knew that this sword was very strong but he had never thought that it would be able to kill the Wild Boar King in one hit. As its corpse fell, countless rays of light scattered on the ground. This was the light of a big explosion! There was a large pile of gold coins on the ground. There were also four gold treasure chests! Naturally, the beginner village area could not drop gold treasure chests. This was the effect of a god-tier ability. The treasure dropped when killing monsters would trigger a passive evolution effect and there was a 100% chance of increasing the level of the treasure dropped by one grade, there was a 5% chance to trigger the ultimate evolution and increase the grade of the item dropped by one to two tiers. In other words, the treasure chests that dropped before were probably bronze or silver-quality treasure chests. But now, with the blessing of a god-tier talent, four gold treasure chests had appeared. This change made Hades very happy. ¡°Four gold treasure chests. The previous one already made me invincible in the beginner village.¡± With such good luck and good fortune, did he need to keep a low-profile while doing high-profile work? Wasn¡¯t he going to take off right now? While Hades was still immersed in his fantasy, a familiar voice appeared in his mind. [Congratulations player, Hand of God, for killing the Beginner Village BOSS, Brutish Wild Boar King. You have taken down the First Kill of the 9,999 regions in the entire server. You are listed on the Top Player List of The entire server will be notified. Do you want to hide your ID?] ¡°No!¡± This time, after his rebirth, he had obtained a god-tier talent. Furthermore, he had ten years of experience in rebirth. What he wanted was to amaze the world with a single feat. How could he hide his identity? In this life, he wanted to crush all the people who used him. He wanted the entire world to remember his own legend. A legend that belonged to him! Ding! [Congratulations player, Hand of God, for successfully killing the Beginner Village BOSS, Level 8 Brutish Wild Boar King. This is the first time that a Lord-Tier BOSS has been killed. This is an announcement!] Ding! [Congratulations player Hand of God for obtaining 1,000 reputation points.] ¡­ When the system announcement was broadcast, all the players around the world heard the news. This shocked everyone. The leader of Bloodfang Guild stopped his attacks. There was a level 8 Brutish Wild Boar King in front of him. Now, it only had a little HP left. ¡°Hahaha, the honor belongs to us. Our Bloodfang will definitely rule the world!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Edward. This time, we will definitely shock the entire world.¡± Similarly, the guild leader who had comprehended a region also did not stop chopping wild boars. ¡°The Miracle myth will be inherited by our Sirius Guild!¡± ¡°Sirius will definitely win!¡± ¡­ At this moment, the announcement rang out. Everyone in the world was stunned. How was this possible? They were the descendants of one of the top ten corporations in America. How could someone be faster than them! They had entered the game to kill monsters before the game had even been released to the public. However, they had already gained quite a bit of experience up until now. Now, not to mention killing the Wild Boar King, they hadn¡¯t even succeeded in killing an ordinary wild boar. ¡°Who is this person?¡± ¡°Hand of God.¡± ¡°Of course I know that. I want to know the identity of this person. This kind of person naturally works for my consortium. Otherwise, there is no need for him to exist.¡± ¡°What is a Wild Boar King? What does it look like? Isn¡¯t it difficult? I really don¡¯t understand the world of the elite players.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really envious. I want to partner with the big boss.¡± ¡°Wait a minute, Hand of God, isn¡¯t that the ID that sold equipment before?¡± ¡°Oh my god, I remember now. At that time, the game had just started and more than ten kinds of weapons and equipment were auctioned off.¡± ¡°At that time, I was extremely puzzled. I always thought that this was an NPC. Seeing that we were newbies, it was too difficult. He sold us something cheap.¡± For a time, Hand of God became the topic of discussion in the game. ¡­ Hades did not care about the impact of this announcement. He began to open the golden treasure chest. [Thick-Earth Leather Armor] Defense +25 HP +150 Vitality +10 Level Requirement: Level 5 to 10. Special Effect: When in battle, gain additional maximum HP. When receiving damage, an additional life shield appears. Cooldown Time: 250 seconds. Class Requirement: Assassin, Ranger. Hades smiled. He did not expect this first equipment to be so suitable for him. This equipment increased his defense and vitality. This was the ability that rangers lacked the most. Ding! Another treasure chest was opened. What was displayed in front of Hades was a thick belt that glowed with a dark light. [Thick-Earth Belt] Defense +13 HP +150 Vitality +5 Strength +7 Level Effect: Level 5 to 10. Special Effect: The belt dropped by the Wild Boar King. During battle, it negates 100 physical damage. Although this familiar armor was not as good as the previous one, it was still considered pretty good among the belts available to newbies. [Thick-Earth Pants] Defense +25 HP +150 Vitality +10 Level Effect: Level 5 to 10. Special Effect: When in battle, gain an additional maximum HP. When receiving damage, an additional shield of life appears. Cooldown Time: 250 seconds. [Thick-Earth Ring] Attack +15 Strength +10 Mana +100 Level Effect: Level 5 to 10. Special Effect: Mana regeneration speed doubles. Set Attributes: After wearing four pieces of Thick-Earth equipment, increases strength by 5%. There is also a 30% chance of activating the Wild Boar King¡¯s earthquake effect. AOE damage +250. Hades¡¯ eyes lit up. The strongest effect of such a gold set equipment was a 5% increase in strength. Although this was not a large number, it was still considered a considerable increase for beginner equipment below level 10. In his previous life, Hades had only obtained the set equipment after he was level 20. Moreover, those who had obtained the set equipment¡¯s strength increase attribute had to be above level 30. But now, Hades was only level 5. In this current region, such attributes were basically invincible! Ding! [Player Hand of God has killed the Wild Boar King. Obtained the Wild Boar King¡¯s tusk. Hidden Quest completed.] A powerful heat current filled Hades¡¯ limbs and bones. If one looked closely, one could see that his body was emitting a faint glow. At this moment, Hades was still a level 1 enchanter. Like other hidden classes, enchanters were divided into nine levels. Each level required a large amount of experience. At this time, Hades¡¯ level 1 enchanter required 100 experience points. This also meant that when his experience bar was full, he would become a level 2 enchanter. Of course, the higher his level, the higher the experience requirement. Chapter 10 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL [Player Hand of God has unequipped equipment. Do you want to equip it?] ¡°Equip!¡± Hades said without hesitation. At this moment, Hades opened his interface. Character: [Hand of God] Level: 7 Race: God Clan Class: Ranger Talent: Evolution (god-tier) Skills: Haste, Blade Aura, Eyes of the Fire Dragon (Inheritance) Attributes: Strength: 46¡ú72 Vitality: 34¡ú42 Agility: 13¡ú16 Spirit: 32¡ú41 Attack: 101¡ú150 Defense: 32¡ú45 HP: 2,800¡ú3,400 MP: 600¡ú830 Hit: 30¡ú42 Critical hit: 13% ¡ú17% Attack Speed: 1.4 (attack twice per second, initial value: 1.0) Movement Speed: 80¡ú90 Charm: 9¡ú11 After defeating the Brutish Wild Boar King, he had obtained all the experience and equipment, as well as the stats of all the rewards and equipment on his body. Although the current statistics could not compare to the equipment of a level 15 player, Hades¡¯ true combat strength and powerful combat ability were definitely comparable to that of a top level 15 player. At this moment, Linda and the flame bird in her hands had disbelief in their eyes. ¡°Oh my god.¡± ¡°Such a big monster.¡± ¡°My attacks are like tickling them.¡± ¡°He ended it with a single strike.¡± ¡°This is too terrifying.¡± Linda¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. Oh, no, it was shock. She stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly at the youth in front of her. After that, the voice from the system appeared in her mind. Hand of God? First Kill? Was it this man in front of her? By the time she regained her senses, Hades had already left. Linda was not Hades¡¯ friend. They were only acquaintances. He only took her to the Wild Beast Forest since he was curious. Because he wanted to know if his leveling ability was effective on pets. When he saw the flame bird earlier. He found that this flame bird had the potential to level up, but it was not his pet, so this ability could not be activated. ¡­ Buzz, buzz, buzz. This was a message from Lucy. It seemed that Lucy had returned to the Quest Hall. Hades smiled and directly opened the message from Lucy. But what shocked Hades was that Lucy¡¯s lively voice didn¡¯t come from the message. Instead, it was a panicked cry for help. ¡°Ah, help¡­¡± ¡°Lucy, what happened on your side?¡± Hades quickly asked. But it was like a stone sinking into the sea. This made Hades¡¯ heart fall into chaos. He wanted to rush over immediately. Because of Linda¡¯s shocked look when she saw Hades¡¯ ID, it made him alert. It really made him quickly hide his ID and run. The bandit dungeon, it should be the people from the guild robbing things. Damn it! Don¡¯t let me catch you! The scene changed and went straight to the bandit dungeon. ¡°F*ck, Boss!¡± ¡°Oh my god, I have two pieces of normal equipment on me but someone else¡¯s is shining all over. What the f*ck is he playing with?¡± ¡°Reporting by his real name, this person must be a cheat!¡± ¡°Boss, where did you get this cheat? Can you introduce it to me? Let me try it. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not short of money.¡± At this time, Hades realized that his equipment was very dazzling and he was covered in gold equipment. Let alone in the novice village, even if he was before level 40, it would not be easy for him to obtain a set of gold equipment. The current Hades was like a firefly, flickering with fluorescent light. It was impossible for anyone not to notice him. ¡°I can¡¯t. I can¡¯t be too ostentatious right now. Otherwise, others will hold a grudge against me.¡± Although he said that he was not worried about gathering others to gang up on him, these equipment were sky-high in price. One had to know that gold coins in the game world could be exchanged for 1:10 in the real world. In this way, he was very worried that there would inevitably be people who wanted to harm him and attack his friends in the real world. Thinking of this, Hades immediately turned off the equipment¡¯s shining halo. With his fast movement speed, Hades was several streets ahead of this group of people. This group of people were all eating dust behind Hades. However, there were simply too many newbies. No matter how fast his movement speed was, in a crowded area, how could he display this level of skill. He couldn¡¯t fly now. However, before this, there were still sharp-eyed people who noticed Hades¡¯ equipment and were walking in his direction. There was no other way. This was the only way. ¡°Haste!¡± Hades¡¯ speed began to explode. He was like a gust of wind, running at high speed through the streets. However, there were still people blocking his way. Bang! A level 8 warrior was instantly sent flying. ¡°My god, what was that just now?¡± ¡°A gust of wind.¡± ¡°Wind? Like a tank?¡± After that, when Hades quickly crossed the street, he discovered a man wearing a mask. ¡°Eh? Where¡¯s my mask?¡± The scene quickly changed and this man¡¯s mask appeared directly on Hades¡¯ face. [Mask] Description: Non-Equipment. Belongs to the headgear category. Level Requirement: None. Job Requirement: None. At this moment, this man¡¯s eyes were sharp. When he saw Hades¡¯ figure, he immediately shouted. ¡°F*ck! You brat, go and revive.¡± ¡°No, in this world, only my Wild Wolf Gang bullies others, no one has ever dared to make a move in front of me.¡± ¡°The vice leader is right. F*ck him up and kill him.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. This brat is heading towards the mountain bandits¡¯ area. He must be a waste of experience!¡± ¡­ A large group of people rushed towards the mountain bandits¡¯ tunnel. With so many people following behind, Hades naturally noticed. He sneered in his heart and said, ¡°Why are these people following me instead of leading them to the beginner¡¯s village?¡± ¡°Could it be that these people are also related to Lucy? Humph! If they are really related, then don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡± was a game that combined battle and cultivation elements. In this game, people naturally needed to be cannon fodder. The rules of the game didn¡¯t say that you couldn¡¯t kill people and steal their goods. Although I didn¡¯t take the initiative to pay attention to others, if anyone dared to touch my family and friends, then don¡¯t blame me for being rude. Hades hadn¡¯t left for long when he saw a group of people surrounding him. And in the crowd, Hades just happened to see Lucy¡¯s shadow. At this time, she was sitting on the ground with a face of panicked helpless look, letting people feel pity for her. Seeing this, Hades did not think and directly rushed over. Chapter 11 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Hehe, hurry up and hand over the things you obtained previously if you don¡¯t want to be the first priest to be killed,¡± a warrior said. His ID was Sanguine Demon God and he was currently at level 5. ¡°That was obtained by our small party and you didn¡¯t contribute anything, so why should we give it to you?¡± A woman beside Lucy said unhappily. ¡°Humph! So what? In this beginner village, our Sanguine Guild holds all the rights. Don¡¯t put yourself in an uncomfortable position,¡± another shady man said loudly. His class was a mage. ¡°I¡­ have a very powerful friend. I¡­ I¡¯ve already told him, don¡¯t come over,¡± Lucy said. ¡°Hahaha, ridiculous!¡± The rather tanned man¡¯s hands emitted a lightning glow as if he was going to start a fight at any moment. ¡°You have a powerful friend? Even if you were stronger, would a rookie like him be able to defeat the entire Sanguine Guild?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you still expect him to come and save you. What a joke. I¡¯m afraid that after coming here and seeing so many people, he would be afraid and leave dejectedly.¡± At this moment, a voice came from afar. ¡°Wait!¡± The person who spoke was the masked Hades. ¡°Let them leave,¡± Hades said calmly. The Sanguine Demon God looked at the guild members beside him and laughed loudly, ¡°Where did you come from, kid?¡± ¡°Haha, this kid probably wants to be a hero to save the damsel in distress. He really doesn¡¯t know how powerful our Sanguine Guild is.¡± ¡­ Hades was shocked. ¡°Looks like you guys are very confident in your own strength.¡± ¡°Hmph! Kid, you¡¯re still pretending, aren¡¯t you?¡± After saying that, a lightning chain shot over. Boom. The skill hit Hades directly but it didn¡¯t give them what they expected. Because it didn¡¯t affect him at all. After that, Hades glanced at Lucy beside him. When he saw that she was fine, he felt slightly relieved. According to the plan, if anything bad happened to Lucy, he had previously wanted to get rid of all these players. However, now that there was nothing very problematic that happened with Lucy, he naturally did not want to attract too much attention. Otherwise, Hades wouldn¡¯t have worn the mask. However, Hades didn¡¯t want to get too entangled with the other party, which didn¡¯t mean that other people didn¡¯t want to get too entangled with Hades. The tanned man directly shouted, ¡°This masked brat has a treasure that can absorb magic damage. Don¡¯t let him escape.¡± Their Sanguine Guild had always been involved in killing people and stealing goods, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t let him go so easily. ¡°Hehe, kid, hand over the items properly. Otherwise, I want you to take a look.¡± ¡°Brother Hao, what¡¯s the point of talking nonsense with him? Just snatch it directly. Don¡¯t force him. This is the style of our Sanguine Guild.¡± ¡­ ¡°Oh? Is that so? It seems that you¡¯re very confident in your guild¡¯s strength,¡± Hades said indifferently. In this short period of time, there were actually a few assassins lurking around Hades. It was very obvious that, at this moment, the members of the Sanguine Guild felt that he had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. At this moment, Hades started to become serious. He slowly looked at the grass under the trees, the fallen leaves, the low leaves¡­ Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew past. The weeds on the grass had been blown down by the wind a little longer than the other weeds nearby. In front of the weeds, Hades noticed a faint shadow. Hades narrowed his eyes and found it! With a leap, Hades jumped down from the five-meter-tall tree. With the sound of the wind, he rushed over. What? A pale-faced man¡¯s expression changed. How was this possible? In this state, his tracks had already been covered by shadow stealth. He shouldn¡¯t have been discovered. At this moment, the pale-faced man broke out of stealth and instantly appeared. However, this action was tantamount to courting death for the assassin. This was because he would reduce his speed by 30%. Hmph! So what if he found him? He was about to face Hades head-on. With his level 6 assassin strength, he wasn¡¯t afraid of a level 5 ranger like Hades. ¡°What a joke. This masked man actually dares to fight against our Sanguine Guild¡¯s Blood Python?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Blood Python¡¯s stealth ability is strong but he¡¯s even stronger in terms of explosive assassinations. This is the true strength of Blood Python. Every time he bursts into action, it¡¯s always a one-hit kill.¡± ¡°Haha, this masked man is still not moving. Does he really think that a level 5 ranger like him can dodge an assassin that¡¯s higher level than him?¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably scared silly now. He doesn¡¯t even dare to move.¡± Hades was obviously not scared. He was just thinking about how to teach these ignorant people a lesson. ¡°Cross Kill!¡± A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the Blood Python¡¯s mouth. The scene of Hades dropping equipment all over the ground and arriving at the beginner village appeared in his mind. However, Hades suddenly turned around. It was the same as the calm scene from before. He waved his hand and suddenly swung his sword. A golden sword ray appeared The sword ray seemed to be able to break the sky! -1015! Instant kill. This number did not have any skill buffs. It only relied on its basic attributes and powerful gold-tier equipment to directly crush it. ¡­ Blood Python¡¯s body blurred and appeared at the starting point. His eyes were filled with disbelief. However, in front of Hades, 30 gold coins had appeared. Being able to earn 30 gold coins at level 5 was not due to luck. Instead, it was the result of continuous killing and looting. ¡°That was an instant kill!¡± Lucy¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. She had originally planned to send a message to Hades but just as she was about to send it, she canceled it. It wasn¡¯t like Hades was in trouble but it hadn¡¯t been long since a player had appeared to do what was right. Moreover, he was so powerful. Lucy¡¯s pretty face was filled with shock but, when she saw the members of the Sanguine Guild surround her again, her heart sank. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re quite brave. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t give me anything but you actually dare to be so brazen and snatch something from my Sanguine Guild.¡± ¡°What was that yellow light just now? It¡¯s a consumable treasure, right?¡± ¡°It seems that you have quite a few secrets.¡± ¡°Your consumable treasure shouldn¡¯t be able to be used many times.¡± ¡°Hmph! Hand it over honestly. If not, I would like to see whether your treasure uses more time or if my Sanguine Guild has more members,¡± the Sanguine Demonic God said in a deep voice. ¡°If you want to fight, then fight. You talk too much nonsense.¡± ¡°All of you, attack together!¡± Hades said calmly. ¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL At this time, Hades also realized that his gold equipment was too eye-catching in the beginner village. Not only was it too ostentatious but it was also remembered by those with malicious intentions. If others knew his secret at this time¡­ It wouldn¡¯t be good. After all, his current strength was a very powerful existence in this game world. However, he didn¡¯t have the ability to protect himself in the real world. He needed another identity to protect himself. Hence, if he used such a weapon, he would definitely be exposed. Moreover, he wanted to see how strong he really was. Seeing the members of the Sanguine Guild surrounding him¡­ Hades¡¯ lips curled into a cold arc. ¡°You want to kill me? Then don¡¯t blame me.¡± He pulled out a white scimitar from his inventory and revealed a trace of hatred. These scumbags actually wanted to kill him, so they had to be prepared to be killed. Yes, ever since he came to this cave and saw Lucy being surrounded by these people, he had no intention of running away. He was prepared to leave all of these people behind. However, at this time, the people who had followed him to this place in the beginner village town had gradually arrived at this mountain bandit tunnel. ¡°Where¡¯s the man who stole my mask? Where did he hide?¡± ¡°Hey, he¡¯s right there. Do you dare to go and cause trouble for him?¡± ¡°Why not? This kid actually dares to offend me. I¡¯m the vice guild leader of the Sanguine Guild. If he dares to make me lose face in front of so many people, I¡¯ll lose if I don¡¯t beat him to death!¡± ¡°Hahaha, you know Blood Python, right?¡± ¡°I know. Our guild¡¯s vice guild leader is also a high-level player, a level 6 assassin.¡± ¡°He was instantly killed by that masked man just now.¡± ¡°What!¡± This man¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Blood Python was the strongest expert in their guild, apart from their guild leader, Demon God. How could he be killed so easily? Moreover, he was killed in one move. How could he not be shocked? ¡°That¡¯s right. Just now, you were too late. You didn¡¯t see that scene,¡± a witness said. ¡°What should we do, Blood Hand? Do we still need to get back at him?¡± Blood Slaughter¡¯s face was filled with discomfort. On one hand, it was because of his pride. On the other hand, his strength was indeed inferior to Blood Python¡¯s. At that moment, he glanced over and saw the guild leader, Demon God. The Sanguine Demonic God was a level 7 paladin. Not long ago, he had even obtained a level 3 skill, Holy Hammer. In this beginner¡¯s village, he could do whatever he wanted. With so many members and guild leaders present, what was there to be afraid of? He had directly led his men to beat him up. Could it be that this kid could kill so many people in an instant? What a joke. ¡°Let¡¯s go! How dare you mess with our Sanguine Guild! Brothers, let¡¯s kill him!¡± Blood Slaughter shouted loudly. ¡°Right, right, right. No one dares to bully our Sanguine Guild. Only we bully others, no one else bullies us!¡± After saying that, he walked towards the place where the two sides were fighting. As the sound of footsteps increased, the Sanguine Demon God at the side also noticed the traces of this group of people. ¡°Hahaha, good brother, you brought so many brothers to cheer you on!¡± The Sanguine Demon God had been worried that he wouldn¡¯t have enough people to keep him here but, now, it seemed that the entire guild had arrived. If they couldn¡¯t do anything to a level 5 ranger, that would be strange. Moreover, he had two vice guild leaders, Blood Python and Blood Slaughter. These two were his capable generals. Although the powerful Blood Python had been instantly killed, Blood Slaughter was a mage and a control-type mage at that. As long as he could buy himself a second, then his Holy Hammer would definitely teach this masked man a lesson. These people¡¯s thoughts were naturally not known by Hades. At this moment, Hades was very excited and his blood began to boil. His eyes stared intently at this group of people ¡­ This cave was actually very small and the space to maneuver around was not large. Hades immediately activated his ranger talent. With the help of the cave¡¯s shade, his figure gradually merged with the shadow. This also triggered the ranger talent¡¯s effect. [Night Halo]: Under this halo, if you are in the shadow, the attack effect can be increased by 5%. Don¡¯t underestimate this 5%. In online games, the bigger the basic data, the stronger the percentage boost. Hence, in many cases, even a 1% increase was enough to change the outcome of a battle. The two players were the upper echelons of this guild. They were also Hades¡¯ top targets. Hades wanted to maximize his combat power. He immediately activated Haste, the weapon in his hand flashing with a golden light. Then, with the support of Blade Aura, he slashed at the Sanguine Demon God and Blood Slaughter. An extremely powerful golden light slashed over, as if it could split the sky. Before they could react, it was a clean kill. -1523! -904! In an instant, Demon God and Blood Slaughter¡¯s bodies began to blur. This was the phenomenon of returning to the newbie village. After that, this powerful sword light directly triggered the effect of the set equipment that Hades was wearing. [Wild Boar King¡¯s Skill: Wild Boar Earthquake]! Wild Boar Earthquake was an AOE attack that dealt 250 damage to everyone present. As for their group, they were all level 3 normal players. How could they have powerful equipment and vitality? Before the Sanguine Guild could react, they were all instantly killed. [Player Hand of God has successfully attacked. All members have been hit. Obtained 270 gold coins and 200 EXP.] [Congratulations Player Hand of God has leveled up to LVL 8.] [Congratulations Player Hand of God. You have successfully killed Sanguine Guild. You have solved the problem of the looted items for the players in the beginner village. Obtained 20 reputation points.] Hades smiled faintly. The effect of this set of equipment was not bad. He had thought that he would need to drink a few bottles of blue potion to defeat all of these players. He had not expected that he would be directly killed under the AOE effect. It would be great if he had a powerful AOE attack skill. After all, the effect of this equipment set was a matter of probability. It was not an inevitable effect. At this moment, Hades saw a sheepskin scroll fall to the ground. [Congratulations Player Hand of God for obtaining the Aura Storm Learning Manual.] He opened it and took a look. Skill Name: Sword Aura Storm (Level 2). Prerequisite for Skill Learning: Sword Aura. Learning Cost: 300 gold coins. Class Requirement: Ranger, Warrior. [Would Player Hand of God like to learn?] ¡°Learn!¡± Hades didn¡¯t even think about it and replied without hesitation. A warm feeling came over him and there was one more thing in his mind¡­ At this moment, there was no one else in the cave except Lucy and Hades. Lucy looked at the masked man. She was slightly familiar with him but she couldn¡¯t say it out loud. Then she remembered the roar of the wild boar just now. Then she remembered the announcement in the game. The first boss killed was the Wild Boar King. ¡°You¡­ you are the Hand of God?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hearing the system¡¯s voice, he knew that he had leveled up. Hades opened his interface. At this moment, Hades opened his interface. Character: [Hand of God] Level: 8 Race: God Clan Class: Ranger Talent: Evolution (God-Tier) Skills: Haste, Sword Aura Storm (Level 2), Eyes of the Fire Dragon (Inheritance) Attributes: Strength: 72¡ú81 Vitality: 42¡ú51 Agility: 16¡ú19 Spirit: 41¡ú48 Attack: 150¡ú171 Defense: 45¡ú51 HP: 3,400¡ú3,600 MP: 830¡ú1,030 Hit: 42¡ú46 Critical Hit: 17% ¡ú18% Attack Speed: 1.4(attacks 2 times per second, initial value: 1.0) Movement Speed: 90 Charm: 11¡ú13 After defeating these Sanguine Guild members, all of Hades¡¯ experience points and all of the rewards were given to him. At this moment, there was no one else in the cave other than Lucy and Hades. Lucy looked at the masked man. She was slightly familiar with him but she could not say it out loud. Then, she thought of the wild boar¡¯s roar. Then, she thought of the announcement in the game. The first boss killed was the Wild Boar King. ¡°You¡­ you are the Hand of God?¡± When the man in front of her gradually revealed the mask, Lucy¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°You are Hades!¡± Lucy covered her mouth with her small hands, her face full of disbelief. ¡°Why are you here¡­¡± Hades shook his head and said, ¡°What do you think? I¡¯ve been waiting for you for so long.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Lucy smiled. She had thought that she was already level 3 and could become a powerhouse in front of Hades. However, she realized that the other party was already level 8. The gap was unusually large. However, she quickly stopped thinking about these things. She was just a little priest. All she needed to do was play support. What was the point of doing damage output? ¡°Hades, let¡¯s form a team. I¡¯ll be your wet nurse1 from now on.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s good for a priest to be a wet nurse. Although I don¡¯t need it, I¡¯ll let you follow me to get some experience,¡± Hades said calmly. At this moment, the two of them arrived at the Quest Hall. ¡­ The Quest Hall was filled with people. The entire Quest Hall was even more crowded than before. After all, so much time had passed. The walls around the hall were plastered with all kinds of quest scrolls, including solo quests, team quests, and so on. Every day, new quests would appear here. ¡°Scram! This quest looks like it for our Sirius Guild. How dare a small newbie compete with us!¡± In the hall, there were even scenes of people snatching quests. Some quests could be accepted repeatedly, while others could only be accepted once. Everyone could accept the repeated quests. If one player had accepted the quest before, other players could also accept it. There was no conflict between them. However, some special quests were relatively rare. It could only be said that if one person or group accepted the quests, they would be called exclusive quests. Exclusive quests would be locked after they were accepted. Unless the quest had not been completed or the quest had failed, the exclusive quest would be unlocked again. They would wait for the next person to accept the quests. Most of the quests were entrusted by NPCs. However, there would also be other players who would issue quests. After completing the quests, they would receive corresponding rewards. There were all kinds of rewards. Some were gold coins, some were equipment, and some were cultivation techniques¡­ Hades and Lucy walked around the hall three times. There were more than a thousand quests on the quest wall. There were all kinds of quests. To put it simply, for example, the parcel delivery quest. This kind of quest was to help others to commission quests. The rewards were not high and it was suitable for novice players. There were also some simple escort quests, such as escorting a caravan out of the city. This caravan was a caravan from a weapons shop and they were preparing to escort a batch of goods to goblin countries. The quest required two people, which meant that two people could accept this quest, when the number of people was full, the quest would be locked. These were all relatively simple. The harder part was to collect things or to act as bodyguards for others and enter dangerous areas together with other quests¡­ ¡°Old Man Norton has made a new list. It requires the feet and eggs of the fire spider. Commission: 100 gold coins. It¡¯s a mysterious old sheepskin scroll.¡± ¡°My cat ran away in the forest. If anyone sees it, please help me find it. It¡¯s a level 8 large earth cat. If you can help me find it, I can give a handsome reward of 10 gold coins. It¡¯s a mysterious pet egg.¡± There were many powerful wild beasts in this wild beast mountain forest. The danger level was very high, so the commission fee was very good. Unfortunately, these quests were all full. They did not give Hades and Lucy any chance. ¡­ There were countless similar quests like these. This was the work of players who lacked resources. They accepted these commissions and helped others obtain rich rewards. Hades started to search through these quests. There were some decent jobs here but most of them were already full. There was still more than half a day before the quest refreshed. If he wanted to wait for the next quest to refresh, he still had to wait! And the rest of the quests were picked by others. Lucy also searched a few rounds but she could not find a suitable quest. However, at this time, Hades stopped in his tracks. He looked at the letter of entrustment, unwilling to leave. ¡°The village chief of Beginner¡¯s Village has issued a letter of request for help. There are wild wolves attacking in the southeast region. He hopes that some brave warriors can come to the rescue, investigate the cause of the wild beast riot, and rescue the residents of the village. The number of quests is unlimited. Reward: 30 gold coins, 100 experience points. Commissioned by: Village Chief.¡± ¡­ The information on this commission was very ordinary and the rewards were also ordinary. However, Hades, who had experience in his previous life, did not think that this quest was simple. In his previous life, he had missed out on a simple quest, so he had missed out on the opportunity to obtain the Flame Spider¡¯s Breath of Life. This item determined the success rate of an enchanter. Naturally, he would not miss out on this opportunity. This quest had been released for quite some time. However, as the southeast area of the novice village was located in a remote area, it was a very desolate place. There were no good resources, so naturally, no one was willing to go there. Therefore, this quest was very uneconomical for most people. Moreover, such a quest had actually produced a creature like a treant. Treants were monsters above level 5. Their defense was high and it was very difficult to break through their armor. Taking all these factors into consideration, no one had accepted this quest. This letter of entrustment had been sent a few days ago, and until now, no one had been willing to accept it. ¡°Hades, you wouldn¡¯t want to accept this quest, would you?¡± Lucy, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked when she saw him staring at this quest. ¡­ Chapter 14 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Of course, this quest is not bad. You can also have unexpected surprises in this treant quest.¡± Lucy was a little puzzled. This quest was not a good one. How could a pack of wild wolves have anything good? ¡°Hades is so strong. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right?¡± Seeing Hades¡¯ confident look, Lucy¡¯s doubts were slowly relieved. However, this quest required five people to open, but there were only Lucy and Hades now, so there was simply not enough manpower. Thus, Hades bought a small speaker in the mall. ¡°Level 8 God leading the wild wolf dungeon, currently lacking one person. First come, first served. They¡¯ll be carried.¡± ¡°Level 8 God leading the wild wolf dungeon, currently lacking one person. First come, first served. They¡¯ll be carried.¡± ¡­ Then, the chat channel in the Quest Hall instantly became lively. ¡°Level 8 taking a wild wolf dungeon?¡± ¡°What kind of operation is this?¡± ¡°The wild wolf dungeon is merely a level 5 dungeon that needs to be carried?¡± ¡°Who would be willing to go to that resource-poor region?¡± ¡°Only a fool would go to this quest.¡± ¡­ A group of players began to ridicule Hades. Hades turned his head to look. It was a player with a wolf head. From the looks of it, they should be from the same guild. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He asked in a deep voice. ¡°Haha, what¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m just looking at a dull person.¡± ¡°A level 5 monster still needs your guidance. My Sirius Guild will directly take it away.¡± ¡°Moreover, you brat, you don¡¯t know that that territory is under the protection of my Sirius Guild. Why are you asking me for a reason?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It would be hilarious if someone were to fight monsters with you.¡± ¡­ Hades had long since become accustomed to such boring players in his previous life. Moreover, in the Quest Hall, one could not fight privately. Naturally, he did not want to waste time on these people. At this time, a timid voice of a little girl was heard. ¡°Brother, let¡¯s go together.¡± Hades turned his head and saw that it was the little summoner who brought the flame bird earlier. ¡°You¡¯re going?¡± Hades was puzzled. ¡°Yes, I have nothing to do anyway.¡± Seeing that Lucy did not have any objections, they decided to go together. They did not care about these things and went straight to the Wild Beast Forest. It was a long distance from the Quest Hall to the southeast part of the Beginner¡¯s Village. Along the way, they crossed these high mountains. The winding mountain road was very dangerous. If they were to walk on foot, it would be very troublesome. ¡°Flame Bird, this time it¡¯s up to you. We have to hurry. The weight of three people shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡± The Summoner said to her pet. Whoosh! The flame bird raised its head high and nodded, indicating that it could. On the way to the Wild Beast Forest, there were also many wild monsters on the road. The wild monsters here were all above level 5 and there were even higher level wild monsters in the inner area. Hades naturally did not want to waste time in these places. So he agreed to ride on the flame bird. Instead of fighting monsters and leveling up here, it would be better to directly do a quest to level up. First, he could gain experience. After leveling up, he could enter a higher-level dungeon. Moreover, he could also bring his companions along to gain experience. After completing their quest, they could also gain a large amount of experience, which could increase the party¡¯s experience. After going through a rugged mountain path, the terrain became a little smoother. If it was not for the flame bird, the previous mountain path would have taken a lot of effort to pass. Hades made a rough estimation in his mind. With the flame bird¡¯s speed, it would take four hours to travel from the Quest Hall to the Wild Beast Forest outside the city. It was indeed a very good effect. If it were other players, it would probably take more than half a day to walk. It would take such a long time just to travel on the road. No wonder no one was willing to come to this place for a mission. Otherwise, he would be exhausted from running back and forth. And this kind of pet could only be summoned by a summoner. No one else could get a pet. In this way, Hades also had the idea of starting a guild in his mind. It seemed that after this quest, he had to set up a guild of his own and bring Linda along with the little summoner into his own guild. This way, in the future, his team could expand into a wider map. If they were to run away, they would be exhausted to death. Right now, it was just the outskirts of the novice village. How could he not have ideas? ¡­ After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Hades and the others arrived at their destination. ¡°Awooo!¡± A wolf¡¯s howl was heard. Before Lucy and Linda could react, an evil wolf was within five meters of them. It glared at them ferociously before charging at them with a violent aura. [Evil Wolf] Level: 5 Attack Power: 32 Defense: 24 HP: 800/800 Movement Speed: 80 Description: A type of wolf with a violent temperament. It likes to live in groups and will take the initiative to attack any foreign creature that comes close to it. The wolf did not hesitate and directly attacked the three people. Its speed was faster than a wild boar. Before it got close, its fierce aura had already spread out. When it got close to Hades, its speed suddenly increased explosively and it immediately pounced toward his chest. Whoosh! As hades slightly moved to the side, the fierce wind almost blew close to his face, making him squint his eyes. When he moved to the side, his right foot, which was half a step behind him, took half a step forward as fast as lightning. Thrusting out his novice sword horizontally, he stabbed the wolf twice in a row. -940 It was instantly killed. Wolves were a typical wild beast with high attack and low defense. Their defense was much weaker than wild boars. But anyone who wasn¡¯t an idiot knew that it was definitely not a good feeling to be bitten by a wolf. The wolf that was attacked disappeared. But soon, another wolf appeared in the forest. He raised his wolf head high and let out a low howl. Instantly, all the wolves within a 30-meter radius stopped what they were doing and let out a howl. Then, they all turned their heads and rushed towards Hades. Hades glanced at them. There were a total of eight wolves that were charging at him. The players here were not only Hades but also Linda and Lucy. If they had to count, that one, the flaming bird, was also counted. Therefore, this wolf howl was undoubtedly an attack on them. If they could not kill all of them, Hades would naturally be fine but Lucy and Linda would be directly reviving in the novice village in the next second. At this moment, Linda and Lucy¡¯s pretty faces were pale and their legs could not move anymore. They were both late-stage professions, and in the early stages, they were all people who mixed experience, so they needed to be properly nurtured. At this moment, Hades felt relieved. If it was like before, using the set effect to launch an attack wouldn¡¯t work. First, the set effect¡¯s damage was only 250 points. It couldn¡¯t instantly kill it. Second, the set effect had a chance of being triggered. It didn¡¯t mean that it could be triggered by just an attack. In this way, relying on the set effect¡¯s special effect to attack would be completely meaningless. As Hades thought, the sword in his hand flashed. He directly launched his ultimate move. Chapter 15 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL ¡°Sword Aura Storm!¡± Hades directly used the AOE attack skill he had just learned. Boom! A powerful explosion sounded and the surrounding trees were ground into pieces by sword aura. -2143 -2130 -2140 -2003 -2160 -2151 -2103 -1999 Eight numbers of high damage appeared right above the wolves¡¯ heads, directly appearing on the bodies of these eight beasts. These eight numbers actually had a critical hit effect, which was also triggered by this skill. Although Lucy and Linda had anticipated Hades¡¯ ability and knew that he was very strong, they didn¡¯t expect him to be that strong. The huge sword aura storm directly killed all of these wild wolves. And this was without the buff effect. What if it was also buffed? Then everything would be instant. [Player Hand of God has successfully attacked the wolves. All targets hit. Obtained 310 gold coins and 250 EXP.] The experience points were not very high. This was because the experience points were distributed to the other two people, allowing Linda and Lucy to level up by one level. The two of them directly rose to level 4. This change made Lucy and Linda pleasantly surprised. They did not expect that within a few minutes, under the leadership of Hades, they had successfully leveled up. ¡°Ah, ah, ah! I¡¯m so happy. I didn¡¯t expect to level up so quickly,¡± Lucy said excitedly. At this time, Linda also said loudly, ¡°If only there were a few more waves, then we can continue to level up.¡± The wolves in the forest were obviously not frightened by Hades¡¯previous attack and they launched a third attack. The wolves gathered again and now there were fifteen of them. Among the fifteen wolves, there was a wolf that was twice the size of an ordinary wolf. The other wolves were obviously surrounding it. A strand of white fur appeared on the wolf¡¯s head. The white fur was the color of the moonlight, and it looked extraordinary. Hades opened the Eyes of the Fire Dragon and checked the situation. [Dark Moon Wolf] Level: 8 Attack Power: 80 Defense: 34 HP: 1,000/1,000 Movement Speed: 90 Skill: Wolf Devour (Level 2): Dark moon wolf¡¯s attack has a 90% chance of causing a bleeding effect on the target. After bleeding, each attack will cause the target to continue to be weakened, reducing 5% of the target¡¯s vitality. The weakening effect can not be stacked, lasting for 10 seconds. Weakness: Three inches at the dark moon wolf¡¯s waist. When attacking this area, it can directly cause 200% damage. Its weakness was its waist. This position seemed to be very easy to attack. However, what was very troublesome was that its speed was very fast. It was the fastest wild beast Hades had ever faced. However, when facing a level 20 warrior with the [Haste] skill, his movement speed was even faster than the previous level 20 warrior. Coupled with the ranger¡¯s talent, with this speed buff, he was much faster than this dark moon wolf. Bang! More than a dozen vicious wolves charged over. Their claws slashed across Hades¡¯ body but he did not let its eyes show any joy. Hades used his right hand and struck a normal attack upwards. -2013 A lone wolf was instantly killed. Boom! Three gray wolf shadows pounced over Hades¡¯ body. The one in the middle was hit in the stomach with all its strength. Unfortunately, it was a huge ¡°miss.¡± Hades quickly got up and, in the process, he instantly dodged the attacks of the other wolves. Then, he found an empty spot and stabbed. The dark moon wolves became more and more restless. In the process of biting, they brought up sand and dust, accompanied by terrifying howls. Hades¡¯ body was like an illusory shadow, moving left, right, back and forth amongst the dense gray shadows of the five wolves. Sometimes shifting left and right. His movements seemed to be random as if he was doing whatever he wanted. However, Lucy and Linda were completely stunned, as if they were looking at a super strong person that could not be measured by common sense. Because every time Hades moved, the stepping point would be a temporary vacancy that would appear in the next moment. The next position would be another vacancy. And the previous vacancies were basically covered by the violent wolf at the same time. Under Hades¡¯ calm appearance, his high-speed brain instantly missed many images. No one could imagine, not even the creator of this world. Under Hades¡¯ rhythm, these vicious wolves all gathered in one place. This place was a certain distance away from Linda and Lucy. The time was right! Hades silently chanted in his heart. He directly used the Sword Aura Storm once again! Rumble! A powerful sword aura spread out. A large number of trees were destroyed. -2013 Another series of numbers rose among the pack of wolves. A voice that had not been heard for a long time was heard. [Player Hand of God has successfully killed the Dark Moon Wolf Pack, killing all of them successfully. Obtained 300 gold coins and 300 EXP.] [Congratulations, Player has obtained the Dark Moon Wolf¡¯s Tusk x2, the Dark Moon Wolf¡¯s Fur x1, the Evil Wolf¡¯s Fur x20.] [Congratulations Player Hand of God for leveling up to LVL 9¡­] After leveling up another level, Hades smiled and opened his interface to check.

At this time, Lucy and Linda also leveled up. In less than three minutes, they directly leveled up to level 6. Their leveling speed was different because the EXP was distributed equally and since, the higher the level, the higher the EXP needed. In this instance dungeon, Hades had leveled up from level 8 to level 9, while they had leveled up from level 3 to level 6. Essentially, the EXP was the same. Just as they were reaping a full harvest. After the dust in front of them dispersed, a mysterious NPC appeared on the ground. It was a youth with black hair and white clothes. At this moment, he was lying unconscious on the ground. [Congratulations Player Hand of God for leveling up to LVL 9¡­] Chapter 16 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Seeing this NPC, Hades smiled and walked towards him. This character was the key to becoming an enchanter. According to the memories of his previous life, as long as he finished this hidden dungeon, he would be able to become a skilled enchanter. The white-clothed youth¡¯s name was Nolan. He was a hunter. He stood up. ¡°Warrior, did you save me? I¡¯m Nolan, a hunter. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Hades said calmly. At this time, Nolan said excitedly, ¡°Judging from your temperament, you¡¯re already level 8. Do you want to accept my mission? However, my quest is a little strange. I don¡¯t have a reward. I hope you can help me.¡± ¡°What? If there is no reward for the quest, do you still want to do this quest?¡± Linda said. ¡°Yeah, we still have a quest to complete,¡± Lucy reminded. ¡°This¡­ we can explore together,¡± Nolan said quickly. But Hades didn¡¯t care. ¡°Go ahead,¡± he said calmly. ¡°Thank you. I left my book in the Wailing Cave. Can we go together? If it¡¯s possible, I can let you read my book for a while after we finish this.¡± However, Linda smiled helplessly. How could it be easier? Even though the team now had a priest, summoner, and an NPC, it was still very difficult. This was because this place was the Wailing Map, a completely unfamiliar and mysterious area. It was a dungeon that could not be found on the map. This dungeon was filled with unknown risks. After all, so many experienced large guilds had yet to successfully explore the dungeon. This team that was formed temporarily was made up of low-level players¡ªand this NPC was just a guide. From this, it could be seen that the difficulty of exploring the dungeon was unimaginable. Linda voiced out her worries. She did not think that the exploration would be smooth. After all, in the context of the expedition, once it was difficult to guarantee the environment, the BOSS¡¯s aggro would be easily diverted. Especially in the game Countless players complained on the forums, almost cursing the game¡¯s developer. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, look at this dungeon being designed, so it must be for someone to challenge it. For this kind of mysterious dungeon, if someone can complete it, then there might be good stuff.¡± Hades¡¯s calm words were like magic. It was very easy to calm people down. At the same time, people had to be convinced. ¡°Alright then,¡± Linda said. The flame bird beside her flapped its wings. Then, Lucy looked at Hades. She asked, ¡°Then what do we need to prepare?¡± Hades shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s no need. The most important thing in clearing the dungeon is skill, coordination, and understanding the monster¡¯s mechanism. Moreover, your classes are all here. No matter how special your skills and talents are, you can¡¯t beat the pros. When we¡¯re clearing the dungeon, we¡¯ll get used to it. What¡¯s more, we¡¯re not playing PVP.¡± ¡°Why do you need to know so much? As for combat power and equipment, it¡¯s only been a week since the game started. There¡¯s no huge difference between our combat power and equipment. Of course, if you triggered a hidden quest, just pretend that I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± After hearing this, Lucy widened her eyes and said in surprise, ¡°Hades, you really are a pro. What you said makes sense.¡± The four of them stood on the back of the flaming bird and headed straight for the Wailing Map. In less than ten minutes, they had arrived at this area. What they saw was a deep tunnel. The rock walls were covered with moss. ¡°Tick, tick, tick¡± drops of water dripped down from the top. On the other end of the tunnel, there was a cold wind blowing in. Everyone could not help but shiver. Soon, four green soft mud monsters appeared in their line of sight. [Mud Monster] Level: 5 Type: Fae Physical Attack: 14 Magic Attack: 24 Skill: Swamp Sink Description: Causes the opponent to sink into the swamp. Also causes the opponent to fall into the swamp and enter a poisoned state. Causes 20 HP reduction every second. Although the mud monsters were not strong, their skill, Swamp Sink, could sink people into the ground and make them unable to move. This ability was the most disgusting. After that, they would continue to eat away at their HP. Kua¡­ The soft mud monster let out a disgusting sound and attacked the four of them. Seeing this, Hades quickly arranged his position and advanced in an orderly formation. Lucy raised her staff and her entire body glowed with a green light. She directly blessed Hades and Linda. The two of them also emitted a green halo. This was the Holy Wind of Healing, a skill that directly increased resistance. Not only could it temporarily increase the maximum HP by 100 points but it could also improve a person¡¯s physique and spirit. In other words, it could also increase physical resistance and magic resistance. The moment Lucy discovered the monster, she was able to use this AOE skill. This also meant that her sense was not bad. At least when dealing with the monsters later, there would not be any big problems. At this time, Linda was very surprised. ¡°Lucy, your amplification skill is so powerful. That soft mud monster could not even touch me.¡± ¡°This is because my Holy Wind of Healing can give you resistance.¡± ¡°And most importantly, this soft mud monster is only a level 5 monster. With Hades¡¯ help, we directly leveled up to level 6 and our attributes were strengthened in all aspects.¡±. ¡°Of course, this can¡¯t touch you. You should really thank Hades,¡± Lucy said calmly, directly explaining the nature of this problem. Linda nodded, and her gratitude towards Hades grew stronger. ¡°This is a defensive battle. Moreover, those four soft mud monsters are just appetizers. If they deal a high amount of damage to you, then you can directly exit this dungeon,¡± Hades said. ¡°No, I¡¯m waiting for you to come online. I entered the dungeon to test the waters. Although those soft mud monsters aren¡¯t very strong.¡± ¡°But they still dealt at least 12 points of damage to me. You gave me a buff, so the damage received immediately became 2 points of damage.¡± Hades nodded and said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, is everyone done testing the waters?¡± Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a long time. In the end, Lucy replied, ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m a priest, so I don¡¯t have any offensive skills in the early stages. This soft mud monster isn¡¯t easy to fight. Otherwise, I would have tested the waters in actual combat.¡± Hades was helpless and comforted everyone, ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s very normal. A dungeon party can lose one DPS but we can¡¯t lose a healer. After all, everyone in a field grinding party needs to form around a healer.¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s great to be able to join Big Boss Hades¡¯ party. Big Boss Hades is so gentle. He knows how to command, has strength, and is an extremely powerful ranger. Where can we find such a player? If Big Boss Hades joins a guild, you must tell me. I want to go too,¡± Linda said playfully. Chapter 17 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hades smiled. In his previous life, he did not join a guild because he did not want to be afraid of trouble. He wanted to explore this mysterious world alone. However, after his rebirth, he had changed his mind. He wanted to explore this world with his friends. His desire to establish a guild grew stronger. Swoosh. The four soft mud monsters were instantly killed by Hades. -2319 -2410 -2396 -2374 Four explosive numbers popped up on the four mud monsters. Hades said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s keep moving forward.¡± Everyone stopped chatting and continued to move forward to clear the monsters. After a few more waves of wild monsters were killed, Hades¡¯ team had a new understanding of this area. Moreover, Linda and Lucy¡¯s levels as a player began to show in front of Hades. In Hades¡¯ eyes, their strength was relatively average and they couldn¡¯t be called high-end players. But they were still ahead of the ordinary players by a large amount. However, what surprised Hades the most was that this team listened to commands and their execution was very strong. Hades was very satisfied with this. As a commander, one was not afraid of leading a team against low-level members. Commanders were afraid of encountering some people who had strong opinions, did not listen to the orders, and were stubborn¡ªresulting in the team being wiped out. Hades would rather lead a group of obedient newbies but he absolutely did not care about those kinds of people. ¡°There are monsters in front again,¡± Linda reported to Hades from the information provided by the flame bird in the sky. Everyone looked at the spacious space in front of the tunnel. There was a huge ogre standing in the middle of the tunnel and two small velociraptors stood on both sides as his guards. In front of the tunnel, there were two waves of small velociraptors guarding it. There were a total of ten of them. It was obviously impossible for them to charge forward rashly. They would probably be killed by the two waves of small velociraptors before they could even exchange a few moves with the elite monsters. [Velociraptor] Level: 5 Type: Beast Physical Attack: 27 Skill: Dragon¡¯s Roar Description: Causes the opponent to be stunned, causing the opponent to lose the ability to move. This stun lasts for 2 seconds. ¡°Flame Bird, charge forward and attract the aggro of the two waves of small velociraptors. Pull them over and fight again,¡± Hades said. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t two waves be too much? I¡¯m afraid the aggro would be hard to control,¡± Linda said worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here.¡± Hades smiled, his smile was very confident. As the commander of the entire team and the backbone, if he was full of confidence, it would undoubtedly raise the morale of the entire team. ¡°Charge, Flame Bird.¡± Linda shouted loudly. ¡°Chiuu!¡± A high-pitched cry came from the sky. This was the voice of the flame bird. After its Master Linda leveled up, its own strength had also been strengthened and now it seemed to be in high spirits. Without saying anything, it collided head-on with the nearest small velociraptor, instantly attracting the aggro of two waves of small velociraptors. The velociraptor¡¯s roar immediately swarmed around and attacked the flaming bird. But the flame bird¡¯s reaction was very fast. Before encircling it, it quickly retreated, pulling the battlefield back into the team¡¯s attack range. At this time, Lucy was quick-witted and immediately cast a Holy Wind of Healing on her and the flame bird. It increased their vitality and resistance. ¡°Not good, that ogre¡¯s attention has also been attracted!¡± Linda shouted loudly. In the vast space in the distance, the ogre holding a mallet swept its gaze over. With murderous intent, it roared and charged towards the small velociraptors on both sides. ¡°Intruders, die!¡± The roar was deafening and reverberated endlessly. Hades opened his mouth and opened Eyes of the Fire Dragon to observe. [Ogre] Level: 7 Type: Evil Demon Physical Attack: 54 Magic Attack: 64 HP: 2,000/2,000 Skill: Instant Fear, Rapid Recovery Description: Instant Fear: Causes the opponent to fall into extreme fear and causes the opponent to enter a state of terror. The opponent is directly imprisoned on the spot. The opponent¡¯s spirit and vitality will be reduced by 10%. If the opponent is in a state of fear, the opponent¡¯s HP will be reduced by 15 points every second. Rapid Recovery: Increases 100 HP every second, recovers at the same level 20 HP every second. The entire cave passage trembled because of the footsteps of the ogre. Now, everyone finally understood why no party had ever successfully cleared this dungeon. The geographical remoteness was one aspect. At the same time, it clearly attracted the aggro of monsters at close range but, because of the movement, it attracted the aggro of monsters further away. If the party was not strong enough, they would not even be able to see the first BOSS. They would have to fail under the siege of this wave of elite monsters and small monsters. Not to mention the more powerful monsters behind them. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Get into a defensive formation. Pay attention to your MP. Don¡¯t worry about your HP. Pay attention to your aggro. Don¡¯t be taken away. Remember, when facing powerful monsters, you must maintain a good mindset.¡± Hades said loudly. Right now, he only wanted to let everyone know how to deal with these monsters in the future instead of running away. This was a simulated battle. Blade Aura! Hades strode forward in front of the battle. The sword aura that gave off a powerful aura appeared in this space. Soon, a sword aura that was more powerful than Hades¡¯ 1.8 meters appeared. The sword aura gave off an intense aura of death. ¡°This is¡­¡± Without waiting for everyone¡¯s reaction¡­ Hades channeled his power, directly releasing the powerful force from his sword. Chi! The air was torn apart. Like a stream of light that pierced through the battlefield, with an unbelievable speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, it directly charged toward the ogre. The flame bird that took the damage from the two small velociraptors was shocked by this powerful sword aura. Immediately after, the ogre wailed shrilly. Roar! The powerful sword aura pierced through the ogre¡¯s ankle from top to bottom, directly cutting it off and restricting its movement. Simultaneously, damage was inflicted on the ogre. -1,200 Now, its HP was at 800. At the same time, it had no mobility. In this state, Lucy could deal damage. After all, killing a monster was different from standing aside to gain experience. But now, they were all dumbfounded. It did not even move. ¡°Hey¡­ hurry up and attack,¡± Hades urged. ¡°After you kill it, that big guy¡¯s experience will fall on you.¡± ¡°This¡­ this¡­¡± Lucy was a little dumbfounded. She did not see how Hades attacked just now and the monster fell to the ground. How could this not shock her? In a head-on confrontation, a ranger was stronger than a warrior? ¡°Don¡¯t stop attacking,¡± Hades shouted again. Lucy and Linda suddenly came back to their senses. They did not dare to be distracted and hurriedly attacked with all their strength. -10 -15 -62 -54 -30 -27 ¡­ Even with the addition of the flaming bird, the output of these three units still could not compare to the ogre¡¯s current recovery speed. Just as they were flustered and threw a bunch of red and green skills at the ogre, the ogre¡¯s ankle had already regenerated. Moreover, its health had actually recovered to 1,350 HP! Chapter 18 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hades turned around and opened his eyes. Not only did this ogre stand up but there were also five little velociraptors charging over. No, the damage output was too slow. If this continued, then Lucy and Linda would definitely be killed. At this moment, the little velociraptor suddenly charged over. It directly activated the dragon¡¯s roar skill. Roar! A powerful ripple was transmitted over. The space rippled. Under the flame bird and Linda¡¯s absent-mindedness, they were instantly stunned and lost their ability to move. This stun lasted for 2 seconds. Following that, a powerful aura burst out. The ogre released a moment of fear skill, instantly reducing their defense. Not only did it cancel out the Holy Wind of Healing that Lucy had added to her, but it also lowered her defense from afar. Finally, the ogre waved their hands and the little velociraptors charged towards Lucy. ¡°No!¡± Lucy shouted loudly. In her heart, she already imagined Linda and the flame bird being instantly killed. However, at this moment, Hades suddenly stood up. Using the wind as a blade, he directly charged towards the velociraptors. Sword Aura Storm! An intense sword aura twisted over. In the blink of an eye, the velociraptors¡¯ figures had already become blurry. Plop. They fell to the ground and couldn¡¯t get up. Following that, more than ten damages appeared on their heads. A total of over 3,000 AOE damage. This number directly shocked everyone and they were completely dumbfounded. When they saw this series of numbers, they were even more amazed. It was obvious that the damage from this attack had exceeded their understanding. Especially Linda. As the person involved, she had thought that she was dead for sure. But now, with the help of Hades, she was saved directly. It was an extremely pleasant surprise. After Linda and The Flaming Bird dispelled their fear state, they instantly regained their freedom. ¡°I¡¯ll let you guys deal with the two little velociraptors after that.¡± Hades said calmly. They were basically in no danger now. After knowing the characteristics of the enemy¡¯s attacks, they were no longer afraid that the ogre would pose a danger to them. With the cooperation of Linda and Lucy, the two of them killed the remaining two velociraptors. In this short period of time, the ogre had relied on its powerful recovery ability to recover its HP to full. At this moment, he roared as he charged towards them. He brandished this large stone staff and vented all of his anger. He directly smashed the rocks around him into pieces. However, these attacks were all ineffective. His attack range was not large enough. The stone staff could not kill others. It could only be continuously consumed by Lucy, Linda, and the flame bird. After that, his mana was consumed and his defense continued to decline. Moreover, the powerful Hades was constantly attacking from the side. At this moment, his body was riddled with injuries. Very soon, he could not hold on any longer. With a rumble, he fell to the ground and could not get up. The battle ended! ¡°Phew.¡± Lucy and Linda let out a loud breath. This was their first time participating in such a team battle. They appeared a little tired but the excitement in their eyes could not be hidden. At this time, they all sat down to rest. The sense of accomplishment of victory filled everyone¡¯s hearts. Although they did not kill the BOSS¡ªjust a slightly special monster¡ªthe sense of accomplishment filled the depths of their hearts. This was the joy of clearing a dungeon. Every time they broke through a difficult segment, it was something worth celebrating. However, at this time, everyone still cared about something more. ¡°Why are you all looking at me?¡± Hades blinked innocently. ¡°Hades, tell me honestly. Do you have a strategy?¡± Lucy came over and stared at Hades with her big eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know my situation. How could a child who grew up in an orphanage have the money to come up with a strategy?¡± Hades waved his hand. ¡°Ah, you¡¯re a kid who grew up in an orphanage¡­¡± Linda was shocked. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Hades asked. Linda¡¯s eyes were flustered and she said in a low voice, ¡°Nothing, nothing¡­¡± It was very similar to Leader Edward. They were both powerful expert players who grew up in an orphanage. After that, a joyful and familiar voice was heard. It was the system¡¯s voice. Ding! [Congratulations Player Hand of God for successfully killing the little velociraptors and ogre. Obtained 545 experience points, 400 gold coins. ] Ding! [Player Hand of God has successfully killed the little velociraptors and ogre. Obtained velociraptor¡¯s fangs x15, ogre¡¯s heart x1.] Not bad. The experience bar was already halfway through. After killing a few more monsters, they would be able to level up to level 9 soon. Lucy and Linda¡¯s eyes widened as well. They had already reached level 7. The stats on their bodies had all strengthened once again. After resting for a period of time, they went deeper into the region again. They encountered a few more waves of small monsters. Their strength was similar to what they had encountered before, except that there were more of them. Moreover, the battles tended to be too noisy, which often attracted monsters deeper into the region. As a result, they had to face seven to eight or even more than ten monsters in a battle. For an ordinary team, this was undoubtedly a headache. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out. However, under the sword aura of Hades, the problem was solved. These small monsters did not pose any danger to them, so the journey was not dangerous. At this time, the ground began to shake again. A large door to the underground cave slowly appeared in front of everyone. The door slowly opened. Deep inside the cave, a dark light was emitting. ¡°Thank you all for bringing me here. Nolan is very grateful. The cave in front is where I dropped the book. Let¡¯s go in quickly,¡± Nolan said. Hades nodded and led the team to the hole. Before they had gone far, they saw a large group of squirming white figures in front of them. They were giant black ants that were more than a meter long. [Cursed Ants ] Type: Monster Level: 5 HP: 500/500 Attack: 20 Defense: 10 Description: Originally, this group of ants was just a bunch of ordinary ants. However, due to the long-term contamination of an unknown demonic aura, they had been demonized. With their huge bodies and weak magic attribute strength, their temperaments had become brutal. These ants would take the initiative to attack all living beings. One had to be careful of the ¡®dark¡¯ effect that came with their attacks. These ants were definitely the largest ants Hades had ever seen. They were also the first monsters with magic attributes that he had encountered in this game. However, what made him curious was that there were no such monsters with magic attributes in his previous life. Chapter 19 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The cursed ants had the habits of ordinary ants. When they moved, they would definitely move in groups. Moreover, their movement speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, a dense swarm of ants appeared in front of Hades. One swarm at a time would make even a level 10+ player¡¯s scalp go numb. However, to Hades, this wasn¡¯t a battle that surpassed his level. Of course, he would be able to deal with this swarm of ants that were even weaker than him. He took a step forward and slashed at the ants. ¡°Oh my god, these ants are too scary.¡± Lucy had never liked insects, not to mention such large ants. She cast a holy light. -148 -152 -161 -159 Under her four consecutive attacks, she killed an ant with magic attributes. Not bad. This kind of ant¡¯s defense was not high and it did not seem to be very aggressive. At this time, a sword light flashed in Hades¡¯ hand. -2,741 After triggering the critical hit effect, one of the ants was instantly killed by Hades¡¯ critical hit. The other two ants that were hit were also affected by the attack and lost their lives. Hades sent another sword light over. Some more ants were killed by him. While attacking, he kept changing positions, so that the ant colony did not have any chance to surround him. After every shift, several ants would fall to the ground. Before long, this space that was not big was filled with ant corpses. Soon, new ants would appear out of nowhere and attack him densely. Ding¡­ [The system has discovered a passage leading to the second area of the Wailing Caves. Kill 1,000 cursed ants and the passage will open.] The system¡¯s notification made Hades, who had been moving and killing repeatedly, move faster. The frequency of their attacks increased. Although there were many of these ants and they attacked at the same time, they met a high-end player with two lifetimes of experience. Under the shocked gazes of Linda and Lucy. Ten ants. Fifty ants. One hundred ants. Two hundred ants. Five hundred ants. ¡­ ¡°Oh my god, this is too unbelievable.¡± Linda covered her small mouth with her hand, full of disbelief. Lucy¡¯s eyes were also wide open. Hades repeated his movements and killing moves while silently calculating the number of ants. In less than half an hour, under a normal attack, the first one thousand ants fell at his feet. After this ant, no new ants appeared, leaving only the ant corpses on the ground. Boom! A dull sound came from the ear. A faint fluorescent door in front suddenly opened, and the shape of a door slowly appeared. Then, it stopped with difficulty. The door was very narrow but it could allow a few people to pass through. Ding¡­ [You have successfully killed a thousand cursed ants. The door leading to the second area has been opened.] There was another door in front of them and the aura from this door made people feel even more depressed. What was at the end of this door? What was hidden inside? The ants just now were at the outer perimeter. If there were creatures inside, then there would be even more heavily contaminated creatures the second round. While Hades was still thinking, Linda and Lucy walked into the second door curiously. At this time, a notification sounded in his ear. Ding! [The second area of the Forgotten Cave has been opened. There are more powerful guardians in the second area. Please be prepared.] After stepping into the second area, a dull sound came from behind him. The stone door that he passed by suddenly closed without any reaction, cutting off his path of retreat. Hades frowned, turned around, and tried to push the stone door but it didn¡¯t move at all. ¡°Ah, look over there,¡± Lucy shouted. A group of creatures with a black metallic luster crawled out from the shadows. These things were actually a bunch of black scorpions! These scorpions gave off a dangerous luster and a chilling aura. It made one shudder. Hades opened the Fire Dragon¡¯s Eyes. [Cursed Emperor Scorpion ] Type: Magical Beast. Level: 6. HP: 600/600. Physical Attack: 60. Defense: 60. Skill Description: Lethal Poison Hook. Description: Originally, this group of scorpions was just a group of ordinary scorpions. However, after being polluted by the aura of an unknown evil demon for a long time, they had been demonized. With their huge bodies and weak magic attribute strength, their temperaments had also become brutal. They would attack creatures with different attributes. Their hooks had a poison effect and, when they attacked, they would also have a ¡°dark¡± effect. Hades looked over. There were a total of thirty emperor scorpions here. Lucy and Linda, who were at the side, had their eyes tightly shut. They turned their heads around, appearing to be in great pain. It was as if they would be in great pain just by looking at these creatures. Hades¡¯ grip on his sword tightened bit by bit. It was not because he was afraid of this creature but because it was obvious that Linda and Lucy did not have the ability to defend themselves, so he had to protect them well. At this moment, the emperor scorpions had also clearly noticed them. They immediately rushed out from the depths of the black gloom and attacked Hades and the others. Fatal Poison Hook! With a slight dislocation of the body, the emperor scorpion¡¯s deadly poison had already hit the air. In a short gap, two fatal poison hooks were thrown at his body. At this moment, Lucy saw that Hades was fighting, so she quickly cast a buff on him. A Holy Wind of Healing increased Hades¡¯ physique and spirit, increasing his resistance. Hades received a buff and his entire body was covered in green afterimages, constantly changing in the air. Around him, the other five emperor scorpions also surrounded him. Six poisonous stingers wrapped in a pitch-black luster stabbed at him at the same time. Sealing off all of his shortcuts and escape routes, the scorpion tail stinger was the only attack method of the emperor scorpions, but this only attack method was quite terrifying. If he wasn¡¯t careful, he would fall into a troublesome situation. ¡°Get lost!¡± Hades didn¡¯t hesitate. He jumped high and easily avoided all of the scorpion stinger attacks. He landed on the back of the first emperor scorpion. Then, without looking, he slashed out with his sword aura. At the same time, he slashed at the five emperor scorpions. Boom! -1,820 -1,900 ¡­ Five numbers appeared on the body of the emperor scorpions and it was still an instant kill. After that, the remaining 25 emperor scorpions directly jumped up and rushed over, directly attacking Hades. Dodging, shifting, blocking, attacking¡­ Everything was as easy and casual as flowing water¡­ Chapter 20 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hades¡¯ eyes shone with a faint golden luster. He had opened the Eyes of the Fire Dragon. It was as if he could predict the movements of all the Emperor Scorpions in advance, and he could accurately detect the attack gaps that would appear in the next second. It was not uncommon for people with strong judgment to be able to make such rapid and accurate judgments under such circumstances. It could even be said that they had the ability to predict the future. This was not something that an ordinary player could do. These monsters that could make ordinary players fear were like toys for him. Before long, he had already made them dizzy, the frequency of attacks that were not high to begin with had become even lower due to the frequent disappearance of targets. The attacks had all failed. Ding! [Congratulations Player Hand of God for successfully killing a cursed emperor scorpion. Gold +10, EXP +50.] ¡­ Ding!

He quickly opened his interface to take a look. Character: [Hand of God] Level: 9 Race: God Clan Class: Ranger Talent: Evolution (God-Tier) Skills: [Haste], [Sword Aura Storm (level 2)], [Sword Aura (level 1)], [Eyes of the Fire Dragon (inheritance)] Attributes: Strength: 91¡ú112 Vitality: 55¡ú63 Agility: 19¡ú21 Spirit: 57¡ú68 Attack: 184¡ú198 Defense: 62¡ú72 HP: 3,800¡ú4,000 MP: 1,230¡ú1,430 Hit: 48¡ú50 Critical hit: 18% ¡ú18.5% Attack Speed: 1.4(attack twice per second, initial value: 1.0) Movement Speed: 95 Charm: 14 Hades¡¯ face lit up when he felt his stats increase. However, it was a pity that the treasure chest had yet to appear in this area. It seemed like this area was not favored by the game developers. ¡°Ah, Hades, you¡¯ve leveled up.¡± Lucy looked at him in disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s right. Thanks to you guys, the monsters here are obviously higher in EXP than the wild beasts outside,¡± Hades said calmly. ¡°Yeah, I feel it too. The EXP in this area is higher. I¡¯m about to level up too. I¡¯ll level up by 6 soon,¡± Linda said happily. ¡°It¡¯s very obvious. We¡¯ll probably level up in a while. Unfortunately, there aren¡¯t any good skill books or treasure chests in this area. We haven¡¯t leveled up yet.¡± Lucy was a little depressed. ¡­ At this time, a series of roars came from the ground. Like a wolf and like a tiger. Boom! Boom! Boom! A huge sound was heard in this area. It made people shudder. Immediately after, a few shadows appeared in the dark area. In the shadows, more than ten pairs of green eyes appeared! This was¡­ Hades once again used the Eyes of the Fire Dragon. [Cursed Wildcat] Type: Evil Demon. Level: 7 HP: 700/700. Physical Attack: 65. Defense: 65. Skill Description: Deadly Cat Claws. Description: Originally, this group of wild cats were just a bunch of ordinary wild cats. However, due to the long-term contamination of an unknown demonic aura, they had been demonized. With their powerful bodies and weak magic attribute strength, their temperaments had also become brutal. They would attack creatures with different attributes. Their cat claws had a poison effect. Moreover, when they attacked, they would also have an additional ¡°dark¡± effect. These fifteen cursed wild cats were all surrounding Hades. Of course, the attack range of the wild cats was very short. There were only a few that could touch Hades¡¯s body. The rest could only circle around. Hades did not try to escape from this encirclement. Instead, he attacked, moved, attacked, moved¡­ If it was a pack of wolves, he would not have done so. However, this pack of wild cats was not agile and their movements were average. Their attack style was simple. Most importantly, their attack range was not large and their attack frequency was terrifyingly low. This type of monster was not in Hades¡¯eyes. This was because their advantage was nothing in front of a high-level ranger. No matter how strong their attacks were, it was impossible for them to touch him. Under all the flowing attacks, Hades¡¯ attacks were free and casual. He only had a single pair of eyes but it was as if he had the ability to predict the next move of these monsters ahead of time. Ding! [You have successfully killed a cursed wildcat. Obtained 35 experience points, 15 gold coins.] Ding! [You have successfully killed a cursed wildcat. Obtained 35 experience points, 15 gold coins.] ¡­ As the 15 wild cats were about to be killed, Hades noticed that one of the 15 wild cats¡¯ eyes had suddenly turned from green to red, giving off a powerful aura. [Cursed Three-Eyed Wildcat King] Type: Evil Demon. Level: 8 HP: 900/900. Physical attack: 85. Defense: 95. Skill description: Berserk Claw, Vicious Bite. Description: This is the cursed wild cat king. It is a type of wild cat that is upgraded from a cursed wild cat. It is a type of wild cat that attacks with high frequency. When it goes berserk, it will display a powerful and terrifying ability. If the target is not killed by it, its attack will not be lowered. It will not feel fear. Moreover, it has a certain amount of recovery ability. Weakness: The third cat¡¯s eye between the eyebrows. Attack this area and you will be able to find 200% critical damage. Very good. The information of the wild cat king¡¯s weakness from the Eyes of the Fire Dragon made him completely relieved. Although after the appearance of the three-eyed wild cat king, a large number of cursed wild cats appeared in this area. But he was still not afraid. It was very simple. He had to defeat them one by one. Thus, this group of wild cat monsters, which was enough to give most players a headache, had become a number of experience points and gold coins in his eyes. What made him extremely excited was that this wild cat king was the same as the mountain bandit king from before. They were both elite monsters. There might be a certain chance that they could drop powerful equipment. With such a possibility, how could he not be excited? How could his blood not boil? Thus, Hades¡¯ gaze towards these cat demons gradually became passionate, as if he was looking at a moving treasure chest. It made him extremely excited. Tremble, little wild cat, hand over all the good stuff!
